Toshiba DX735-D3330 Betriebsanweisung

62

Depending on the operating system installed, you have more than 
one option available for turning off the computer: Shut down, 
Hibernate, and Sleep. Each option has its advantages.

❖

Use the Shut down or Hibernate command if you will not be 
using the computer for several days or if you must turn off your 
computer.

You must turn off your computer in order to upgrade your 
computer’s internal hardware (such as memory). 

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the Shut down option to turn off 
your computer, save your files and make sure all disk/disc activity 
lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, 
wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.

❖

Use the Sleep command to save your work, system settings, 
and current state of the desktop to memory, so that when you 
turn on the computer again, you will quickly and automatically 
return to where you left off. 

Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first 
saves the current state of the computer to the internal storage drive. 
Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the 
saved information, system settings are retained indefinitely. 

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖

Restarting from Hibernation takes less time than restarting 
after turning off the computer using the Shut down command.

❖

Restarting from Hibernation takes a little more time than 
restarting from Sleep.

❖

When starting up again, the computer returns to the state in 
which you left it, including all open programs and files you 
were using.
