In this dialog box, you can manually set the LCD and hard drive’s time-out values in the
Plugged in column and in the Running on batteries column. Lower time-out values will save
more battery power.
Also consult Windows user guide for more information on how to use Windows power
management functions. Actual dialogue box shown above may appear slightly different.
Suspend Mode
Standby Suspend
The system automatically enters this mode after a period of inactivity, which is set in the Power
Schemes dialog box. In Standby mode, hardware devices, such as display panel and hard disk,
are turned off to conserve energy.
Hibernate Suspend
In this mode, all system data are saved in the hard disk before powering down. When this mode
is activated, all system state and contents are saved to the hard disk drive after a period of
inactivity defined by the user. No power or very little power is drawn from the battery module
under this mode.
However, depending on how much RAM that have been installed on your computer, the amount
of time the system requires to restore all its previous contents can range from 5 to 20 seconds.
