Table 7-3 describes system activity for each system power state and describes events that cause the<br />

system to enter each state. System power states are listed here in decreasing order from higher to lower<br />

power usage. <strong>The</strong> system can be configured to use some, all, or a combination of these system power<br />

states. <strong>The</strong>se states are described in more detail later in this chapter, see “Power Management States and<br />

BIOS Configuration Options”. Also note that timeouts for individual devices, such as the hard disk drive<br />

spin-down timeout and video timeout can be configured separately. Refer to Chapter 2 for details on<br />

configuring these and other power savings options in the BIOS.<br />

Table 7-3 System Power States<br />

System State System Activity Events Causing System to Enter State<br />

Fully On Mode<br />

Idle Mode<br />

Standby Mode<br />

Suspend-to-<br />

RAM Mode*<br />

Suspend-to-<br />

Disk Mode*<br />

System is fully running. CPU, system bus, and<br />

all other active interfaces operate at full<br />

speed.<br />

CPU speed reduced to the speed selected for<br />

the Idle Mode CPU Speed BIOS option.<br />

See “Idle Mode” later in this chapter for more<br />

details.<br />

CPU is stopped.Hard disk drive enters<br />

standby state (spun down). Display and<br />

backlight are turned off.<br />

Resume system logic and RAM remain<br />

powered to maintain system data. All other<br />

devices are powered off.<br />

(PC Card sockets remain powered if Resume<br />

On Modem Ring is enabled in BIOS.)<br />

Active system data is saved to hard disk drive.<br />

(Data is saved to partition or file depending on<br />

save to disk configuration.)<br />

System is completely powered off except for<br />

logic components required for<br />

Suspend/Resume button operation.<br />

From Standby or Idle mode: user activity<br />

detected.<br />

From Fully Off mode: system started.<br />

From Suspend-to-RAM mode: system<br />

operation resumed (Suspend button pressed,<br />

resume on modem ring, resume on time.)<br />

Idle mode timeout occurs. (No system activity<br />

for 1/2 second.)<br />

Note: Low battery condition (less than 12%<br />

charge) will force system to use Idle mode.<br />

Low battery warning (audible beep) is heard if<br />

audio is enabled in BIOS.<br />

Standby timeout occurs.<br />

Suspend timeout occurs.<br />

Suspend request (issued by software or<br />

Suspend/Resume button pressed).<br />

Critically low battery. Note that a critically low<br />

battery forces system into Suspend-to-RAM<br />

mode regardless of the Suspend Mode setting<br />

in the BIOS.<br />

Suspend timeout expires.<br />

Suspend request (issued by software or<br />

Suspend/Resume button pressed).<br />

Fully Off System is fully powered off. System power switch turned off.<br />

System shutdown (Windows 95/NT).<br />

* <strong>The</strong> system can be configured to use Suspend-to-RAM mode, Suspend-to-Disk Mode, or a combination of the<br />

two. For details on selecting the suspend mode, refer to Chapter 2.<br />
