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 and the following window will be

displayed.

The hibernation window

After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk,
turn off the power to any peripheral devices.

Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a
moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.

Standby mode (Windows 98 only)

In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other
devices are in sleep mode.

Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.

Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in standby mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost. It is
a good idea to save your data before shutting down the computer in
Standby mode.

If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be
sure to shut down the computer in hibernation 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

hibernation.

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.
