Suspend Timeout The "Suspend Timeout" item sets the time-out period for the system to enter suspend mode if it is not in use during the pre-set period. The Suspend mode is determined by the "Suspend Type" item in the "Suspend Controls" submenu. It can be Suspend-to-RAM or Suspend-to-Disk. When Suspend-to-RAM mode is initiated, several subsystems will enter standby or power-off mode to conserve power. The system will wake up from Suspendto-RAM mode when a key is pressed. "Resume Timer" and "Ring Resume" items, if enabled, can also wake up the system from Suspend-to-RAM mode. When Suspend-to-Disk mode is initiated, the system preserves all the running application programs as a file in a "suspend-to-disk partition" on the hard disk and then turns off automatically. The available options are 1 Min, 5 Min, 10 Min, 20 Min, 30 Min, and Never. Suspend-to-disk The "Suspend-to-disk" item sets the time-out period for the system to enter suspend-to-disk mode if it is not in use during the set period. When Suspend-to-Disk mode is initiated, the system preserves all the running application programs as a file in a "suspend-to-disk partition" on the hard disk and then turns off automatically. The available options are 1 Min, 5 Min, 10 Min, 20 Min, 30 Min, and Never. NOTE: This item functions regardless of the "Suspend Timeout" setting and the "Suspend Type" setting in the "Suspend Controls" submenu. If the timing of this item is shorter than that of "Suspend Timeout", the system will directly enter Suspend-to-disk mode if staying inactive for the timing. Setup Configuration Utility 5-13
