Hibernation mode
The hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk
when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned on,
the previous state is restored. The hibernation feature does not save the
status of peripheral devices.
Make sure the Disk’s indicator is off. If you turn off the power while
a disk (disc) is being accessed, you can lose data or damage the
disk (disc).
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
■ Save your data. While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves
the contents of memory to the hard disk drive. 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 Disk indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
