Suspend Timeout - Compaq Armada 100 Reference Manual

Suspend Timeout

The "Suspend Timeout" item sets the time-out period for the system to enter
suspend mode if it is not in use during the pre-set period.
The Suspend mode is determined by the "Suspend Type" item in the "Suspend
Controls" submenu. It can be Suspend-to-RAM or Suspend-to-Disk.
When Suspend-to-RAM mode is initiated, several subsystems will enter standby
or power-off mode to conserve power. The system will wake up from
Suspend-to-RAM mode when a key is pressed. "Resume Timer" and "Ring
Resume" items, if enabled, can also wake up the system from Suspend-to-RAM
mode.
When Suspend-to-Disk mode is initiated, the system preserves all the running
application programs as a file in a "suspend-to-disk partition" on the hard disk and
then turns off automatically.
The available options are 1 Min, 5 Min, 10 Min, 20 Min, 30 Min, and Never.
Suspend-to-disk
The "Suspend-to-disk" item sets the time-out period for the system to enter
suspend-to-disk mode if it is not in use during the set period.
When Suspend-to-Disk mode is initiated, the system preserves all the running
application programs as a file in a "suspend-to-disk partition" on the hard disk and
then turns off automatically.
The available options are 1 Min, 5 Min, 10 Min, 20 Min, 30 Min, and Never.
NOTE: This item functions regardless of the "Suspend Timeout" setting
and the "Suspend Type" setting in the "Suspend Controls" submenu. If the
timing of this item is shorter than that of "Suspend Timeout", the system
will directly enter Suspend-to-disk mode if staying inactive for the timing.
