User manual SONY VAIO VGN-Z570N

[. . . ] This is implemented in Windows 2000 and can be used in any recent or new SONY PC. Resistance to power failure The Hibernate mode is resistant to power failure as the OS state is saved to hard disk, so power out during Hibernation will not cause memory loss. The OS and current program states are saved until power is restored when the PC can automatically reload the last state and continue operation. Suspend to RAM This is similar to the Hibernate mode described above, only there is less power saving and wakeup is faster, since the system context is saved in main memory. [. . . ] However, since main memory is faster than the hard disk, wakeup takes less time from "Suspend to RAM" mode. The same events that trigger the PC to wake up from Hibernate mode also work for Suspend mode. Additionally, pressing any key on the PS/2 keyboard can also wake the PC up from Suspend to RAM mode (this keyboard wakeup can be disabled in the OS power management options). Under Windows 2000, ensure the OS option "Suspend to RAM" has been selected in Start>Settings>Control Panel>Power Options if you want to activate this mode. o All PC devices powered down The PC's system context (contents of main memory, position of all programs, etc. ) is stored on hard disk and then all devices are powered off. When the PC gets a wakeup command, it initiates the BIOS then reloads the system context from the hard disk. In this way the PC starts up very quickly from where it left off, becoming quickly available for the task at hand. Wake Up from Hibernate Which Operating Systems Support ACPI? Operating System Windows NT 4 Windows 95 Windows 98 Gold Windows 98 SE Windows 2000 Linux ACPI Mode Supported S1 S3 S4 S5 No integrated power management APM only APM recommended n All PC devices powered on 9 9 9 9 APM only 8 9 9 9 System context recovered from hard disk o Windows 2000 Windows 2000 is currently the operating system that has the most complete ACPI power management features. From the Windows Start menu, the user has the option to Shut Down (S5) or go into Hibernate mode (S4) if this is enabled in Power Management, or go into Standby (S3 or "Suspend to RAM"). Windows 2000 power management options are configurable from the Power Options icon in Start>Settings>Control Panel. Here you can set the action of the PC's power switch to instigate Standby (S1 or S3), Hibernate (S4), or shut down the PC (S5). You can also select the devices allowed to signal a wake-up to the system. Most SONY PCs shipped in the last few years have both APM and ACPI implemented in the BIOS, allowing you to choose the power management scheme to best fit your needs. So you can even benefit from many of the advantages of ACPI when you update to Windows 98 SE or Windows 2000. For More MS Windows Information For more information about Windows operating systems, refer to Microsoft's web sites: ZZZPLFURVRIWFRPZLQGRZV Linux APM is supported. LINUX v2. 4 with ACPI will be available early in 2001. For full information see LINUX documentation for your version and/or FAQs on line (many sites). To learn if your SONY PC supports Windows 2000, consult the white paper "SONY Windows 2000", available at ZZZKSFRPGHVNWRSVZLQGRZV 5 Power States available to SONY PC models SONY PC model SONY Vectra VLi8 SONY Vectra VL400 SONY Vectra VL600 SONY Vectra VL800 SONY Kayak XU800 SONY Kayak XM600 SONY e-pc c10 SONY e-pc s10 SONY e-vectra SONY Brio BA410 The PC Supports these States S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S1 S3 S3 Does Not Support S3 S3 Does Not Support S3 S3 S4 (Hibernate) S4 S4 S4 S4 S4 S4 S5 (Shut Down) S5 S5 S5 S5 S5 S5 RPO* for APM and/or ACPI ACPI check BIOS version ACPI check BIOS version ACPI check BIOS version ACPI check BIOS version ACPI check BIOS version RPO for APM for ACPI check BIOS version for ACPI check BIOS version RPO for APM only S1 S1 S3 S3 S4 S4 S5 S5 * To support RPO from S5 the BIOS version and Driver version must both support RPO in S5 mode.

To ensure that Soft Off is not used, you must reconfigure the power button. Also, it is possible to remove the 6KXW'RZQ option from the Windows Start>ShutDown menu. To learn how to do this, refer to Microsoft's hardware white paper "Windows Power Management Configuration Tools Design Notes and Reference", available at ZZZPLFURVRIWFRPKZGHYGHVLQLWZSPWRROVKWP Using the Mouse The mouse cannot be used to wake up the PC from Standby or Hibernate. To wake up the PC from Standby, the user can press any key on the keyboard (from S1 only, on some SONY PC models), the keyboard space bar (on some SONY PC models), or the PC power button. [. . . ] To do this, select Shut Down from the Start menu then under the heading µWhat do you want the computer to do?¶ select the option `Shut Down¶ from the dropdown list. RPO `out of the box' New SONY PC are delivered preloaded and ready to function `out of the box' as soon as they are powered up. However, the Remote Power On (RPO) function requires a continued power supply to operate correctly. When your SONY PC comes `out of the box' it is in a state equivalent to a power interruption. To set up RPO, you should connect up all peripherals and switch on the PC. [. . . ]
