Suspend to RAM mode

All devices are powered off except the other supporting components and

system memory where your working files are stored. You can activate this

either pressing the power button or setting the Suspend timer on the Power

Management function of the Control Panel in Windows. To resume full-on

state, press the power button.

Suspend to Disk mode

When this mode is activated, the context of the entire system is saved to disk

and all components and devices are powered off, while all clocks are also

stopped (except Real Time Clock or RTC). You can activate this by setting the

Hibernate (Windows 2000/XP) mode on the Power Management function of

the Control Panel in Windows. To resume full-on state, you can press the

power button.

Mechanical off Mode

All power, except the RTC (real time clock), has been turned off from the

system. This includes external AC power source and battery power source.

3.6 Working with the Built-in HDD

Your notebook computer is equipped with a built-in large capacity 2.5 inch

IDE hard disk drive where you store or install your computer operating system

and all application software programs. You need to format the hard disk

before using. The internal hard disk is normally assigned as Drive C after

formatting. Sometimes divided into two partitions, adding a Drive D. Since

your computer supports different hard disk capacities (up to 60 GB), you also

need to setup the disk type first on your computer’s BIOS SETUP program
