Benefits of hibernation
The hibernation feature provides the following benefits:
■ Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically shuts
down because of a low battery.
■ You can return to your previous working environment immediately when
you turn on the computer.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System
hibernate feature.
■ You can use the panel power off feature.
Starting Hibernation
To enter Hibernation mode, follow the steps below.
1. Click start.
2. Select Turn Off Computer.
3. Open the Turn Off Computer dialog box.
Hibernate is not
displayed.
4. Press the Shift key. The Standby item will change to Hibernate .
5. Select the Hibernate.
Automatic Hibernation
The computer will enter Hibernate mode automatically when you press the
power button or close the lid. First, however, make the appropriate settings
according to the steps below.
1. Click start and open the Control Panel.
2. Open Performance and Maintenance and open Power Options.
■ Save your data. While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves
the contents of memory to the HDD. However, for safety sake, it is best
to save your data manually.
■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor
before the save is completed. Wait for the HDD indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation feature
must be enabled in one place: the Hibernate tab in Power Options.
Otherwise, the computer will shut down in Standby mode. If battery power
becomes depleted, data saved in Standby mode will be lost.
You can also enable Hibernation by pressing Fn + F4. Refer to Chapter 5,
The Keyboard, for details.
