C A U T I O N
The Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode should not be used
with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documenta-
tion for more information.
P O I N T
If your notebook is actively accessing information when
you enter the Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode, changes
to open files are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during
Save-to-Disk mode.
P O I N T
When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-
to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior
to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices
will be re-initialized when the system restarts.
P O I N T
The main advantage of using the Save-to-Disk function
is that power is not required to maintain your data. This
is particularly important if you will be leaving your note-
book in a suspended state for a prolonged period of
time. The drawback of using Save-to-Disk mode is that
it lengthens the power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
