3.16 Suspend to Hard Drive
Suspend to Hard Drive saves your current work (system status, memory and
screen image) into hard disk, and then the system can be totally power off.
Next time, when power is on, you can resume your original work directly from
hard disk within few second without go through the Win95 booting process
and run your application again. If your memory is 16MB, normally, you need
to reserve at least 16MB HDD space to save your memory image. Note that
you have to use VESA compatible PCI VGA (AOpen PV60/PT60), Sound
Blaster compatible sound card (AOpen AW32 or MP32) for Suspend to Hard
Drive to work properly. Of course, we recommend to use AOpen products for
best compatibility.
To use Suspen to Hard Drive:
1. Go into BIOS setup, Power Management Suspend Mode Option, select
Suspend to Drive.
2. Use utility ZVHDD to create a hidden file in your hard disk drive. This file is
used to save your system status and memory image. Just type:
C:>ZVHDD /c /file
3. Push suspend switch or use Win95 Suspend icon to force system goes
into Suspend to Hard Drive mode and then turn system power off by
power switch of your power supply.
4. Next time you turn on your system, it will resume to your original work
automatically.
3.17 Modem Wake Up
The Modem Wake Up discussed here is to wakeup from true power off
(identified by fan of power supply is off), This mainboard still supports
traditional green PC suspend mode but it is not discussed here.
With the help ATX soft power On/Off, it is possible to have system totally
power off (The traditional suspend mode of power management function does
not really turn off the system power supply), and wakeup to automatically
answer a phone call such as answering machine or to send/receive fax. You
may identify the true power off by checking fan of your power supply. Both
external box modem and internal modem card can be used to support Modem
Wake Up, but if you use external modem, you have to keep the box modem
always power-on. AOpen AX5T/AX58 and internal modem card implement
special circuit (patent applied) and make sure the modem card works properly
