Hibernation mode
The hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk
when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned on,
the previous state is restored. The hibernation feature does not save the
status of peripheral devices.
Benefits of hibernation mode
The hibernation feature provides the following benefits:
■ Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically shuts
down because of a low battery.
■ 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 duration set by the system
hibernation feature.
■ You can use the panel power off feature.
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the
power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you may lose data or
damage the disk.
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so
could cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause
data loss.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
■ While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the contents of
memory to the HDD. Data will be lost if you remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
Disk indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation
feature must be enabled in the Hibernate tab in Power Management and
Setup Action tab in Power Management. Otherwise, the computer will shut
down in Standby mode. If battery power becomes depleted, data saved in
Standby mode will be lost.
