Initiating Sleep and Hibernation
Microsoft® Windows has two power-saving states, Sleep and Hibernation.
● Sleep–The Sleep state is automatically initiated after a period of inactivity when running on
battery power or on external power. Your work is saved to memory, allowing you to resume your
work very quickly. You can also initiate Sleep manually. For more information, see
Initiating and
exiting Sleep on page 50 .
● Hibernation–The Hibernation state is automatically initiated if the battery reaches a critical level.
In the Hibernation state, your work is saved to a hibernation file and the computer powers down.
NOTE: If you want to initiate Hibernation manually, you must enable Hibernation using Power
Options. For more information, see Enabling and exiting user-initiated Hibernation on page 51 .
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video
playback functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep while reading from or writing to a
disc or an external media card.
NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions
while the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.
