Getting Started

Sleep Mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off the power without exiting

from your software. Data is maintained in the computer's main memory.

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

Hibernation Mode.

Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives

no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System Sleep

Mode feature.

You can use the panel power off feature.

Entering Sleep Mode

You can enter Sleep Mode in one of three ways:

Click Start then click the power button (

) located in the power

management buttons (

).

Please note that this feature must be enabled within the Power Options

(to access it, click

Control Panel System and Maintenance

Power Options).

Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment

to let all capacitors fully discharge.

When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep

Mode according to the settings in the Power Options.

To restore operation from Sleep Mode, press the power button or press

any key. The latter action works only if Wake-up on Keyboard is

enabled in HW Setup.

If the computer automatically enters Sleep Mode while a network

application is active, the application might not be restored when the

computer wakes up from Sleep Mode.

To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,

disable Sleep Mode in the Power Options. That action, however, will

nullify the computer's Energy Star compliance.

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 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 will be lost.
