2. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode
your system is using.
• Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most
other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the
Status display indicates the battery charge level.
• Power icon is not displayed: Save-to-Disk mode
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is
reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in
Save-to-Disk mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display.
In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now
suspended. Refer to "Resuming System Operation" later in this chapter to resume
system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system
operation:
• If the battery goes dead while the system is in
Suspend-to-RAM mode, data loss could occur. If the
system will be in Suspend-to-RAM mode for an extended
period of time, be sure to have a fully charged battery
installed.
• The system is supported by a bridge battery for
approximately five minutes while the main battery is being
replaced. Be sure to replace the main battery quickly or
use the AC Adapter when replacing the battery.
• You can remove the battery pack while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or
Save-to-Disk modes in order to install a charged battery pack. To prevent losing
unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the
battery pack.
• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period
of inactivity.
• Your system may be configured to enter Save-to-Disk mode automatically after a
period of time in Suspend-to-RAM mode.
• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM
mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged.
