Working with the notebook
A26391-K126-Z120-1-7619 29
In the Standby/Suspend-to-DRAM mode the content of your main memory is saved by continuing to
supply the main memory with power, while the processor, monitor, hard disk and other internal
components are switched off. This mode is activated whenever you press the Suspend/Resume
button. Saving is also triggered when you do not make an entry on your notebook for a certain time.
When you resume work, your notebook returns to the place at which you discontinued working.
i
Do not use the Standby mode when you will not be using the notebook for a long time,
switch it off instead.
If you use an integrated LAN/Modem, a PC-LAN card or a PC modem card, we do not
recommend switching over to the Standby mode, as this may lead to an interruption in the
network connection.
When you press the Suspend/Resume button for more than 4 seconds, your notebook will
switch off.
