1.1.2 FlashStart - Turning the Notebook Computer On and Off
A noticeably unique feature about this notebook is that it has no on/off switch. Instead it employs
a lid switch, located near the center of the display hinge, that tells the notebook when it should
wake up or go to sleep.

FlashStart Automatic Power-on Switch (Lid Switch)
When you close the display lid, the notebook enters suspend-to-memory or suspend-to-disk mode
before turning off the power, depending on the When Lid is Closed parameter setting in BIOS
Setup. When you open the lid, the notebook resumes from where you left off before closing the
lid.
Suspend-to-memory, suspend-to-disk and other power management issues are discussed in detail
in power management section.
