D.1 Zero-Volt (Hibernation) Suspend Utility
The notebook enters suspend mode when you press the
standby/suspend button ( ). Press the power switch to
return to the status prior to entering suspend mode. If you do
not run this program to allocate disk space, this function will not
work. Therefore, it is advisable to run this program before
using the system.
D.1.1 ASTDK
ASTDK creates or removes a hidden file that resides in a contiguous hard
disk area for zero volt suspend/resume operation.
Why does this program need to allocate disk spaces? When most of the
power is removed from the system (e.g., due to suspend button or suspend
timer time-out), the system swaps all memory images and saves all system
status information into these disk spaces. When you resume the system
from suspend mode, the system will return to its previous state. If you do
not run this program to allocate the required disk spaces, this function will
not work.
D.1.2 Operating Environment
ASTDK can be run under any of the environments described below.
DOS 6.0 or later version
Windows 3.0 or later version
Windows 95
