POINT

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.

POINT

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 notebook 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.

CAUTION

Be sure you know which settings are

active for the Power Button before you

use it; misuse can result in data loss. (See

the Power Menu of the BIOS setup utility,

pages 43-44, for more information.)

Save-to-Disk Mode

The Save-to-Disk function saves the contents of

the notebook’s system memory to the hard

drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume function.

Your notebook is setup to perform this function

in one way and can be conﬁgured through the

system BIOS to do it in other ways.

Default Method for using Save-to Disk Mode:

■

Press the Fn key together with the

Suspend/Resume button when activating the

Suspend mode. The Save-to-Disk pop-up will

appear on your screen, simply wait until it

has ﬁnished and your notebook will go into

Save-to-Disk mode.

SAVE2DSK.BIN. (Refer to Your Save-to-

Disk File Allocation on pages 44-46 for

more information.) If you need help

contact your support representative

for recommendations.

POINT

Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a

signiﬁcant amount of hard drive capacity

for saving all system memory, which

reduces your usable disk space. When

you purchase your notebook it will have

space allocated for the memory installed.

If you increase the system memory with

a memory Upgrade module, you will

need to change the size of your Save-to-

Disk allocation. Use the PHDISK Utility to

increase the size of the Save-to-Disk ﬁle,
