Hibernation Mode

The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the hard 
disk drive when the computer is turned off so that, the next time it is turned 
on, the previous state is restored. Please note that the Hibernation Mode 
feature does not save the status of any peripheral devices connected to the 
computer.

The Hibernation Mode feature provides the following benefits:

■

Saves data to the hard disk drive when the computer automatically 
shuts down because of a low battery condition.

■

You can return to your previous working environment immediately when 
you turn on the computer.

■

Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives 
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System 
Hibernate feature.

■

Allows the use of the panel power off feature.

To enter Hibernation Mode, follow the steps below.

1. Click Start.

2. Click the arrow button (

) in the power management buttons 

(

Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor 
before the save is completed. Wait for the HDD indicator to go out.
