Power Management — Power Saving Modes 

There are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can be selected in the Power 
Management dialog box: You may have the notebook standby, hibernate, or you can power off the 
computer altogether. 

All devices are powered up and in suspend mode 
except for the CPU clock. 

Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer, 
except that the current state of the computer is copied 
to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer 
returns from suspend mode, the desktop appears 
with the same files and programs open as when the 
computer was suspended. Suspend to Disk is very 
useful when you don't want to take the time to shut 
down all open programs one by one to shut off the 
computer, only to have to open the same programs 
and files the next time you use the computer. This 
mode is also called hibernation mode. 
Suspend-to-disk Partition/Suspend-to-disk File 
In order to Suspend to Disk, you must have a special 
suspend-to-disk partition/file on your hard disk drive. 
This partition is pre-installed on your computer. The 
pre-installed partition is large enough to store all 
system memory. 

System is shutdown. 
 

There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power 
Management dialog box: 

•  The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time.  
•  Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box.  
•  Closing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has been connected).  
•  Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).
