POWERMANAGEMENT

Note on PC Cards
Never unplug a PC card
while the system is in
save-to-disk mode. This
would deactivate the
slot and problems could
occur with a modified
system configuration
the next time you start
up the computer
Your system is compatible with APM and the
newer (and more efficient) ACPI energy saving
system.
HARDWARE (Battery Status & Warnings)
After completing the POST (power-on self-test),
the battery status display shows the charge state
of the battery. The symbol flashes when the
battery charge is low. Save your data immediately
and connect the power adapter.
Low charge level & SUSPEND
When the battery runs low (without the power
adapter connected), one of these two protective
functions is automatically activated:
Without hibernate
If there is no save-to-disk file or partition set up on
your system, then current data will be stored in
RAM and the system automatically switches into
suspend mode.
With hibernate
Data is saved in the special file or partition on the
hard disk reserved for this purpose. The computer
then automatically switches off. If there is no
save-to-disk file or partition available, the system
switches into suspend mode.
