Getting Started

operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation

from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the

point where it left off. To resume operation, you must

use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation,

and there must be an adequate power source available,

or your notebook will not resume.

HIBERNATE MODE

Hibernate mode saves the contents of your

notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of

the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook is pre-

configured to perform this function. The Hibernate

mode can also be configured through the system BIOS

to run in other ways depending on what you need to

accomplish. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

Using Hibernate Mode

The Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows

XP and disabled for Windows 2000.

To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow

these easy steps:

1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select

Control Panel --> Power Management.

2. Select Hibernation, and then select the box to

enable or disable this feature.

To use Hibernate mode with Windows 2000 and

Windows XP systems:

1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down.

2. Select Hibernate option from the “What do you

want the computer to do” list.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The display timeout is a power management feature.

This feature saves power by turning off the display if

there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user

selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer

activity will cause the display to restart automatically.

This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume

button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows

Power Management and BIOS setup utility (APM only).

See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The hard disk timeout is another one of the power

management parameters. This feature saves power by

turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive

activity for the user selected timeout period. Any

attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart

automatically. This feature is independent of the

Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and

disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility (APM

only). See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows

Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power

management settings. For example, you can use the

Power Management to set the timeout values for turning

off the display and hard disks whether you are running

the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

The settings may also be changed in the BIOS (APM

only). See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure

that you use the following procedure.

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows

Shut Down dialog box.

If you are running your LifeBook notebook

on battery power, be aware that the

battery continues to discharge while your

notebook is in Standby mode, though not

as fast as when fully operational.

■

The Standby or Hibernate modes should

not be used with certain PC Cards.

Check your PC Card documentation for

more information.

■

Disabling the Suspend/Resume button

prevents it from being used to put your

notebook in Standby or Hibernate

mode. The resume function of the

button cannot be disabled.

■

If your notebook is actively accessing

information when you enter the Standby

or Hibernate mode, changes to open

files are not lost. The files are left open

and memory is kept active during

Standby mode or the memory is trans-

ferred to the internal hard drive during

Hibernate mode.

■

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.

■

The main advantage of using the Hiber-

nate function is that power is not

required to maintain your data. This is

particularly important if you will be leav-

ing your notebook in a suspended state

for a prolonged period of time. The

drawback of using Hibernate mode is

that it lengthens the power down and

power up sequences and resets periph-

eral devices.
