3.2.2 Suspend Modes
The heuristic power management system performs automatic suspend, hot-
key suspend and all suspend actions resulting from various events and
conditions. You only need to set the suspend mode type the notebook
enters when a suspend condition occurs.
The two suspend modes are:
Suspend-to-memory mode
Suspend-to-disk mode
The suspend mode that the notebook enters into is specified in the When
Lid is Closed parameter in Setup. See section 6.5.1.
The When Lid is Closed parameter can also be set to Sleep
Mode. Sleep Mode maintains active modem and network
connections when the display lid is closed. This power saving
mode saves the least power.
If an external monitor is connected to the notebook, the
notebook will not enter the desired suspend mode if you
close the display. To enter suspend mode, disconnect the
monitor plug, open the display and close the display
again.
Suspend-to-Memory Mode
The notebook consumes very low power in suspend-to-memory mode.
Data remains intact in memory. The notebook restores this information
from the memory and resumes from where you left off upon leaving
suspend mode.
