Suspend Time-Out SUSPEND TIME-OUT lets you determine how long your computer remains idle before activating suspend mode to conserve battery power. Settings for this option in both AC and BATTERY are: • DISABLED • 1 MINUTE • 2 MINUTES • 3 MINUTES • 4 MINUTES • 5 MINUTES • 10 MINUTES (the default) • 15 MINUTES • 30 MINUTES • 1 HOUR To increase battery operating time, set the SUSPEND TIME-OUT option to a lower number of minutes. NOTE: Set the SUSPEND TIME-OUT option to DISABLED if using it causes compatibility problems with your software. A change to the SUSPEND TIME-OUT option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required). If you are not in the System Setup program, you can activate suspend mode at any time by pressing . The computer resumes normal operation automatically when you press a key on the built-in keyboard. System Memory SYSTEM MEMORY displays the total amount of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) installed in your computer. The amount of memory displayed includes the standard 16 megabytes (MB) of system memory (permanently installed on the system board), plus any memory modules installed in your computer. There are no user-selectable settings for this option. The amount of memory displayed changes if you install or remove a memory module. Possible settings for this option are: • 16 MB • 20 MB • 24 MB • 28 MB • 32 MB • 36 MB • 40 MB • 48 MB System Switch SYSTEM SWITCH allows you to use the power switch as a regular power switch or to enable and resume from suspend-to-disk mode. If you want the power switch to turn the computer on and off, set this option to ON/OFF (the default). If you want to use the power switch to activate and resume from suspendto-disk mode, set this option to S2D/RFD. NOTE: If the computer is in suspend-to-disk mode, pressing the power switch always causes the computer to resume normal operation. When this option is set to S2D/RFD, slide the power switch forward to activate suspend-to-disk mode. If the computer is already in suspend-to-disk mode, slide the switch forward to resume normal operation. If the SYSTEM SWITCH option is set to S2D/RFD and the computer is not in suspend-to-disk mode (that is, if there is no data in the S2D partition), pressing the power switch starts the computer normally. Time TIME resets the time on the computer's internal clock. Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes: seconds). NOTE: If a network server controls the time reflected by the TIME option, changing this option has no effect. 2-12 Dell Latitude XPi CD Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
