Data save in hibernation mode
When you turn off the power in hibernation mode, the computer takes a moment to
save current memory data to the hard disk. During this time, the
Built-in HDD
indicator will light.
After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk, turn off the
power to any peripheral devices.
CAUTION: Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately.
Wait a moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.
Standby mode
In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices are in
sleep mode.
CAUTIONS: 1. Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the
computer is in standby mode. The computer or the
module could be damaged.
3. Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in
standby mode (unless the computer is connected to an
AC power source). Data in memory will be lost.
4. If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a
hospital, be sure to shut down the computer in hiberna-
tion mode or in shutdown mode to avoid radio signal
interference.
Benefits of standby
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
◆ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does hiberna-
tion.
◆ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives no
input or hardware access for the duration set by the System Standby feature.
◆ You can use the panel power off feature.
