as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable

STANDBY MODE
Standby mode is one of the power management param-
eters. When Standby mode is activated, your LifeBook
notebook puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts
off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is
no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation,
video display change, modem transmission or reception,
etc.) on your LifeBook notebook for the user selected
time-out period. Any activity will cause your notebook
to return to normal operation automatically. This
feature is independent of the Power and Suspend/
Resume button.
DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. 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 Power and Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in
Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility
on page 33 for more information)
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 Power
and Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION POWER
MANAGEMENT
Power Management
The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98
Second Edition 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 LifeBook notebook on battery
power or one of the adapters.
ACPI and Windows 98 Second Edition
Short for Advanced Configuration & Power Interface, a
power management specification developed by Intel,
Microsoft, and Toshiba. ACPI, which is part of the
Windows 98 Second Edition operating system, enables
the operating system to control the amount of power
given to each device attached to the computer. With
ACPI, the operating system can turn off peripheral
devices, such as the CD-ROM player, when it is not in
use. Your operating system has been pre-configured for
ACPI power management.
P O I N T
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant
amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system
memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When
you purchase your LifeBook notebook it will have space
allocated for the memory installed. If you upgrade the
original system by adding a memory upgrade module
without changing the size of your Save-to-Disk
allocation you will get an error message when you try to
activate Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work. Use
the PHDISK Utility (Windows 98 only) to increase the
size of the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can
download the Save-to-Disk File Allocation information
from our Web site at
www.8fujitsu.com. I f you need
help, contact your support representative for
recommendations.
