Considerations When Using a Power Management Mode
When you use a power management mode, you need to
consider a few points, especially if you are using the network.
Considerations for Suspend Mode
Consider the following before using suspend mode:
The computer can enter suspend mode when used with
the following operating systems:
–
IBM PC-DOS Version 7.0
–
IBM OS/2 Warp Version 4
–
Microsoft Windows Version 3.11 with IBM PC-DOS
Version 7.0
–
Microsoft Windows 95
–
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
Important
If you use Windows Version 3.11, ensure that
Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed
according to the instructions in page 107.
Attached devices, such as a printer or serial device, stop
running when the computer enters suspend mode.
When
you resume normal operation, the output might differ from
what you expect, because the device might be reset or
lose its configuration settings.
Sometimes you might want to use the computer with the
LCD closed—for example, when an external monitor and
keyboard are used.
In such a case, turn on the computer
with the LCD closed or enable
