Chapter 2—Operation 2-25
Hard Disk Standby
The system will turn off the DeskNote’s hard disk drive after a specified period of
inactivity. The Hard disk drive will be turned back on once the system attempts to
read or write data to it. You can adjust the Standby timeout period in the power
menu of BIOS utilities
Global Standby
In Global Standby mode, the CPU clock will be stopped and most of the controllable
peripheral devices will be powered off. If the idle timer expires before any system
activity is detected, the system will change from Standby mode into Suspend mode.
Suspend and Resume
Under the circumstance of extremely low power, all tasks are stopped and stored in
memory to save the power. This is called Suspend mode. The Suspend Mode
features three levels: Powered-On-Suspend (POS) mode, Suspend-To-RAM (STR)
mode and Suspend-To-Disk (STD) mode.
Note: Be sure not to initiate the Suspend Mode when any of the disk
drives is accessed such as HDD, FDD and CD-ROM drive.
The system operation can be returned to exactly where it was suspended when
wake-up event occurs. This is called Resume.
