Utilities and Applications
This section describes pre-installed utilities and tells how to start them. For 
details on operations, refer to each utility’s online manual, help files, or 
readme.txt files.
Panel Power Off/On
This feature turns off the computer when the

the Power Options.

Hibernation
When battery power is exhausted to the point that 
computer operation cannot be continued, the 
system automatically enters Hibernation Mode 
and shuts itself down. You can specify the setting 
in the Power Options.
Hibernation
This feature lets you turn off your computer 
without exiting from your software. The contents 
of the main memory are saved to the hard disk. 
When you turn on your computer again, you can 
continue working right where you left off.
Sleep
In Sleep Mode, the system’s power remains on, 
but the processor and all other devices are 
effectively in ‘sleep mode’. When the computer is 
in Sleep Mode, the Power LED flashes amber. 
The computer enters Sleep Mode regardless of 
the Hibernate Mode setting.
Before entering Sleep mode, make sure to save your data.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in 
Sleep mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep mode. 
Data in memory will be lost.
