Automatic Power Management

Local Power Management
Local Power Management controls notebook subsystems. When a
subsystem is inactive for a period of time, called "time-out," it is
automatically shut down or slowed down to reduce power
consumption. The subsystem will be active again when next
accessed.
The subsystems under power management are:
• • • •
Hard Disk Drive
• • • •
Floppy Disk Drive
• • • •
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW Drive
The above components will power down after the pre-set timing.
Global Power Management
Global Power Management automatically puts the notebook into
suspend mode when the notebook is inactive for a period of time,
called "time-out." The notebook will wake up whenever an activity is
detected (e.g. pressing a key).
The time-out settings for suspend mode can be set up in the SCU
program. The notebook suspends to RAM or disk depending on the
"Suspend Data to" setting in the SCU program.

Manual Power Management

You can manually initiate Suspend mode at any time in one of these
ways:
• By pressing the hot key [Fn]+[F4].
• By closing the top cover.
Note that this works only if the "Cover Close" item is set to
Suspend in the SCU program.
For information on Suspend-to-File mode, see the following section.

Suspend-to-File

When suspend-to-file function is activated by pressing [Fn]+[F4], the
most current system status is being saved as a file on the hard disk
before the notebook is being turned off. Upon waking up from
suspend-to-file, the notebook would recover to exactly the same
state prior to the suspend-to-file activity.
