Suspend Mode Support With CardWizard, you can use PC Card devices over a suspend-resume cycle. The PC Card Controller and the cards are powered off when your computer enters suspend mode. However, each card type is handled differently to prevent data loss or machine crash through the suspend-resume event. For example, all files must be closed on an ATA disk. LAN cards cannot avoid the risk of crashing the system when resuming. CardWizard identifies each card type and might present a dialog of instructions to avoid these potential problems. In some cases CardWizard might stop the suspend event altogether. You are expected to follow the instructions given before entering suspend mode. There is also a critical suspend, where your computer is automatically suspended by the system when the battery life is about to expire. In this case, your computer might not be able to fully restore the state it was in before it entered suspend mode. When resuming from critical suspend, CardWizard analyzes the cards that were being used before the critical suspend and instructs you to save data or prevent problems such as a system crash. The instructions might recommend that you reboot your system. Suspend Notification You might receive messages when you attempt to suspend your computer with the following cards: Network or SCSI cards. You tried to suspend while there is a network or SCSI card in use. Shut down your system instead of suspending it. ATA cards. You tried to suspend before you closed all files and folders on the ATA card. Close all files and folders, and then try the suspend. Chapter 5. Using Your Computer with a PC Card 51

Suspend Mode Support
With CardWizard, you can use PC Card devices over a
suspend-resume cycle.
The PC Card Controller and the cards are
powered off when your computer enters suspend mode.
However,
each card type is handled differently to prevent data loss or machine
crash through the suspend-resume event.
For example, all files
must be closed on an ATA disk.
LAN cards cannot avoid the risk of
crashing the system when resuming.
CardWizard identifies each
card type and might present a dialog of instructions to avoid these
potential problems.
In some cases CardWizard might stop the
suspend event altogether.
You are expected to follow the
instructions given before entering suspend mode.
There is also a
critical suspend,
where your computer is
automatically suspended by the system when the battery life is about
to expire.
In this case, your computer might not be able to fully
restore the state it was in before it entered suspend mode.
When
resuming from critical suspend, CardWizard analyzes the cards that
were being used before the critical suspend and instructs you to
save data or prevent problems such as a system crash.
The
instructions might recommend that you reboot your system.
