Hibernation Mode

The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the hard

disk drive when the computer is turned off so that, the next time it is turned

on, the previous state is restored. Please note that the Hibernation Mode

feature does not save the status of any peripheral devices connected to the

computer.

shuts down because of a low battery condition.

You can return to your previous working environment immediately when

you turn on the computer.
