Getting Started

Data save 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

Built-in HDD indicator will light.
After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk, turn

off the power to any peripheral devices.

Standby mode

In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices

are in sleep mode.

Benefits of standby

The standby feature provides the following benefits:

■

Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does

hibernation.

■

Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives

no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System Standby

feature.

■

You can use the panel power off feature.

Executing standby

You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:

1. In Windows

XP, click Start, click Turn Off Computer and click Stand

by.

2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the

Setup Action Tab in Power Saver Utility described in the Control Panel.

In Windows

XP, open Performance and Maintenance and open

TOSHIBA Power Saver.

Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment

to let all capacitors fully discharge.

Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in

standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in standby mode

(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in

memory will be lost.
If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure to

shut down the computer in hibernation mode or in shutdown mode to avoid

radio signal interference.

You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn+F3. See Chapter 5,

Keyboard, for details.
