Power Management; Standby Mode; Suspend Mode; Suspend To Memory - EUROCOM 6X00 Service Manual

Power Management

The Notebook Computer provides users with power management to manage power consumption
while maintain optimal system performance.

Standby Mode

Standby Mode is the device level power management. Most controllable peripheral devices,
such as hard disk and LCD display, will be powered off. If the STANDBY timer expires before
any system activity is detected, the system will change from Standby Mode to Suspend Mode.

Suspend Mode

Suspend Mode is the system level power management. The CPU and DMA clocks will be
halted and all controllable peripheral devices will be turned off.
The system may be suspended by:
Be sure not to initialize the Suspend Mode when any of the disk drives is accessed such
as HDD, FDD and CD-ROM drive.

Suspend to Memory

Suspend-to-Memory is a 5-volt suspend mode for system power management.

Suspend to Disk

Suspend-to-Disk is a 0-volt suspend mode for system power management.
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 2MB integrated video RAM.
For example, if the system DRAM is 72MB, 0VMAKFIL will create a partition of size about
75MB.
Note : Rewrite the sector signatures if you partition again the very hard disk.
3. Re-partition the hard disk using your operating system's FDISK program.
