in this mode. If you leave your computer in power on suspend
for several days without the AC adapter attached, the
computer’s battery will discharge.


Save To Disk: This mode provides the greatest power-saving
capabilities by essentially turning off your computer. In this
mode, all system logic (except for your computer wakeup
circuitry and battery charger) is turned off. During save to disk
mode, the DRAM and video memory are saved to the hard
drive and are restored when your computer resumes operation.
You can press <Fn+F11> to manually place your computer into
suspend mode.
When you use the <Fn+F11> key combination,
your computer may postpone entering suspend
mode during a critical operation, such as
reading from or writing to the hard drive.
To resume to full-power mode, press the power button.
Once all devices return to full-power mode, all active software
applications and system states are restored to exactly how they were
before your computer entered suspend mode.
When your computer enters or resumes from save to disk mode,
screens appear indicating system status. These status screens do not
appear when the computer enters or resumes from power on suspend.
Suspend Mode Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using suspend mode:


Save all open files before you press <Fn+F11> to manually
place your computer into suspend mode.


If you purchased a new hard drive, make sure that you create a
save to disk partition equal to the amount of system memory
plus 2 MB before you enable save to disk mode. See “Creating
a Save to Disk Partition” on page 65 for more information.


Do not try to resume to full-power mode using battery power if
the battery charge is low. If the battery charge is too low, the
system may not be able to resume fully. Plug in the AC adapter
