Suspend To Disk (STD)
Suspend to Disk is a 0-volt suspend mode for system power
management. STD mode saves the maximum power but takes the
longest time to return to full operation.
1. Use your operating system's FDISK program to delete all
partitions of the hard disk if any already exists on the target
drive.
2. Boot the system from the A: drive and run the 0VMAKFIL.EXE
Utility to create the Suspend to Disk partition on the hard disk
whose size will accommodate the installed DRAM (n) plus
4MB integrated video RAM.
For example, if the system DRAM is 32MB, 0VMAKFIL will
create a partiton of size about 36MB.
Note:
Rewrite the sector signatures if you need to partition
again the very hard disk.
3. Re-partition the hard disk using your operating system's FDISK
program.
Resume from STD Mode
The system may be resumed from Suspend-To-Disk mode by:
Power back on
Alarm resume (month/day/hour/minute)
Opening the display lid (only if the suspend event is
initialized by closing the display lid)
A:\>0VMAKFIL /Pn
A:\>0VMAKFIL /P32
C:\>0VMAKFIL /PW
