Using Power Management
RediSafe suspend mode
In RediSafe suspend mode, all tasks are stopped, and memory
data and the status of the computer are stored on the hard disk
drive. This prevents accidental loss of data during suspend
mode. Resuming normal operation is faster in RediSafe
suspend mode than it is in hibernation mode; the computer
resumes normal operation when you press the Fn key in
RediSafe suspend mode.
If all battery power is used and the computer turns off during
RediSafe suspend mode, install a fully charged battery pack or
connect the AC Adapter; then press the power switch to resume
operation. All tasks are restored.
Create the hibernation file
before using this mode.
(See “Creating the Hibernation File” on
page 98.)
To enable RediSafe suspend mode, first, create the hibernation file;
then set RediSafe suspend in the ThinkPad Features program's
Battery (
) menu. For more information, see the ThinkPad
Features program online help, or use PS2 commands.
