Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation)
When the computer suspends to disk, the system preserves all the running
application programs as a file in a Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard
disk. The computer then turns off automatically. When the computer is
powered on, the system reads the file from the Suspend-to-Disk partition
back into memory, returning the computer to the state it was in before it
was suspended.
If there is no Suspend-to-Disk partition on the hard disk, use the
HIBERNAT utility to create the partition, in order to be able to use the
Suspend-to-Disk feature.
Suspend-to-RAM (Standby)
When the computer suspends to RAM, several subsystems enter standby
or power-off mode to conserve power. The system wakes up when any
key is pressed. Resume Timer and Ring Resume options also wake the
system from Suspend-to-RAM.
1.4 Setup Configuration Utility (SCU)
The system comes with a Setup Configuration Utility (SCU). This utility
configures BIOS settings via menu-driven utilities. Settings are stored in
the CMOS RAM.
The SCU must be used when:
■ An error message indicates that the SCU should be run.
■ Factory default settings need to be restored (after BIOS upgrades).
■ Specific settings must be modified.
Starting the SCU
The SCU resides on the system ROM chip. Start the utility by pressing
F10 during initial power up.
