Suspend mode can be initiated at any time in either of two ways:

Suspend mode can be initiated at any time in either of two ways:

■ 

By pressing 

■ 

By closing the top cover, if the Cover Close option is set to Suspend
in the SCU program.

When the computer suspends to disk, the system preserves all the
running application programs as a file in a Suspend-to-Disk partition on
the hard disk. The computer then turns off automatically. When the
computer is powered on, the system reads the file from the Suspend-to-
Disk partition back into memory, returning the computer to the state it
was in before it was suspended.

If there is no Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard disk, use the
HIBERNATE utility to create the partition, in order to be able to use the
Suspend-to-Disk feature. The HIBERNATE utility is available as
SoftPaq SP13934.

When the computer suspends to RAM, several subsystems enter standby
or power-off mode to conserve power. The system wakes up when any
key is pressed. Resume Timer and Ring Resume options also wake the
system from Suspend-to-RAM.

The system comes with a Setup Configuration Utility (SCU). This utility
configures BIOS settings by using menu-driven utilities. Settings are
stored in the CMOS RAM.

The SCU must be used when:

■ 

An error message indicates that the SCU should be run.

■ 

Factory default settings need to be restored (after BIOS upgrades).

■ 

Specific settings must be modified.
