Data saving 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
Disk LED will light up.
After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk, turn
off the power to any peripheral devices.

■ You change certain computer settings.

computer has turned itself off, wait between ten and fifteen seconds
before turning it on again with the power button.
