Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
Benefits of Sleep Mode
The Sleep Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■
Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the
Hibernation Mode feature.
■
Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System
Sleep Mode feature.
■
Allows the use of the panel power off feature.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
■
When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep
Mode according to the settings in the Power Options (to access it, Start
-> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).
■
To restore the operation of the computer from Sleep Mode, press the
power button. Please be aware that this latter action only works on the
internal keyboard if the Wake-up on Keyboard option is enabled within
the HW Setup utility.
■
If the computer enters Sleep Mode while a network application is
active, the application might not be restored when the computer is next
turned on and the system returns from Sleep Mode.
■
To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,
disable Sleep Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start ->
Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).
However, please be aware that this configuration will nullify the
computer's Energy Star compliance.
■
To use the Hybrid Sleep function, configure it in the Power Options.
■
Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
■
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.
■
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory could be lost.
