Suspend-to-Disk Mode
In suspend-to-disk mode, power shuts off. The notebook saves all system
status information onto the hard disk (in a file created by Sleep Manager)
before entering suspend-to-disk mode. The next time you open the
notebook, it restores this information from the hard disk and resumes from
where you last left off.
Suspend-to-Disk Mode Conditions
For the notebook to enter suspend-to-disk mode, all of the following
conditions should exist:
When Lid is Closed parameter is set to
[Suspend To Disk]
The suspend-to-disk file created by Sleep Manager is present and valid
The Resume on Modem Ring and Resume on Schedule parameters
are disabled. See sections 6.5.5 and 6.5.6.
Entering and Leaving Suspend-to-Disk Mode
With the suspend-to-disk conditions satisfied, there are four ways to enter
suspend-to-disk mode:

Battery fail condition occurs without a powered AC adapter connected
and Suspend to Disk on Critical Battery is set to
[Enabled]
.
When battery is low while the notebook is in suspend-to-memory mode,
the notebook wakes up and performs a suspend-to-disk operation to
prevent data loss.
To leave suspend-to-disk mode, open the display. Make sure a charged
battery pack is installed and/or a powered AC adapter is connected before
you open the display.
Validating the Suspend-to-Disk File
