Advanced Features

Standby. In this sleep mode, power is reduced or turned off for many

components. However, system memory remains active.

NOTE:

Hibernate mode is only supported on computers with 4-GB of RAM or

less.

Hibernate. This sleep mode reduces power consumption to a minimum by

writing all data in system memory to a hard drive and then removing

system power. Waking up from this mode restarts the computer, and the

memory contents are restored. Operation then resumes where the

computer left off when it entered the hibernation mode.

Shutdown. This sleep mode removes all power from the computer except a

small auxiliary amount. As long as the computer remains connected to an

electrical outlet, it can be automatically or remotely started. For example,

the

Auto Power On option in system setup (see "Power Management" on

page 47) allows the computer to automatically start at a specified time.

Also, your network administrator can remotely start your computer using a

power management event such as Remote Wake Up.

The following table lists the sleep modes and the methods you can use to wake

the computer from each mode.
