Power-up modes
The computer has three different power-up modes as follows:

computer off.
Hibernation Mode: Data in memory will be saved to the hard disk drive.
Sleep Mode: Data will be maintained in the computer's memory.
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and 
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start  Control 
Panel  System and Security  Power Options).
Hot keys
You can use the FN F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN F4 to enter 
Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5, 
 for further 
details.
At this point, the hotkeys FN F1 to F9 do not work. They will function 
after you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer 
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry 
password entry.
