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

■

Shut Down Mode : The computer will shut down without saving data - in 

view of this you must always save your work before you turn the 

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.

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).

You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN + F4 to enter 

Hibernation Mode.

You can set up your computer so that power is turned off automatically 

when you close the display panel, and turned on again when you open it. 

Please note that this function is only available for Sleep Mode or 

Hibernation Mode, not for Shut Down Mode.

This feature automatically turns off the system in Sleep or Hibernation 

Mode if the computer is not used for a set duration. Refer to 

, in Chapter 4 for an explanation of how to set the duration.
