Suspending and resuming operation

iX104C5 User's Handbook
To conserve battery power when you do not want to turn off the
computer or when you need to install a charged battery pack, put the
computer into Suspend mode. (You can suspend operation without
closing any programs or Windows.)
When you suspend operation:
Programs that are running stop (but do not close).
■
Active data is saved.
■
The system enters one of the following low-power modes:
■
· Suspend-to-RAM mode – The Status LED light is
continuously yellow. Active data is saved in RAM and most
other components are turned off.
Although the computer uses very little power when in
Suspend-to-RAM mode, eventually the battery's power does
run out. If you do not plan to use the computer for an extended
period of time, turn the computer off or put it in Hibernation
mode instead of using Suspend-to-RAM.
· Hibernation mode – Active data is saved on the hard disk and
power usage is reduced to the same level as when the
computer is turned off. In Hibernation mode, there is no
danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
Note: For more information, see "Using power options – Windows
XP" on page 58 or "Using power options – Windows 7" on page 62.
If you have set your computer to turn power off (in the Power Options
utility in Windows Control Panel), you cannot suspend operation. To
change power settings, see "Using power options – Windows XP" on
page 58 or "Using power options – Windows 7" on page 62.
