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.

When the computer is in Sleep Mode, the power indicator will blink

orange.

If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen

the overall operating time by turning it off into Hibernation Mode - Sleep

Mode will consume more power while the computer is off.

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 Hard Disk Drive indicator to

go out.

Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in

Hibernation Mode. Data will be lost.
