6.5.1 When Lid is Closed
The notebook’s lid switch acts as its power switch. Simply put, opening the
display wakes up the notebook; closing the display puts it to sleep. The
When Lid is Closed parameter determines which suspend mode the
notebook enters when the display is closed. There are three settings for this
parameter:
• Suspend to Memory
• Suspend to Disk
• Sleep Mode
With this parameter set to [Suspend to Memory], the notebook
enters suspend-to-memory mode (saving all data into memory) when you
close the display or press the suspend hot key
-| ( ). The notebook
wakes up when you open the display or press any key.
With the parameter set to [Suspend to Disk], the notebook enters
suspend-to-disk mode (saving all data into the hard disk) when you close
the display. The notebook wakes up when you open the display again.
With the parameter set to [Sleep Mode], the notebook maintains the
active network and modem connections when you close the display. The
notebook wakes up when you open the display again.
If an external monitor is connected to the notebook, the
notebook will not enter suspend mode if you close the display.
To enter suspend mode, disconnect the monitor plug, open the
display and close the display again.
The Sleep Manager automatically creates a suspend-to-disk file
when it is run. If the file becomes invalid, the notebook will be
unable to enter suspend-to-disk mode, and enters suspend-to-
memory mode.
