Sleep
is the same as Suspend-to-
RAM (STR). This function stores
your current data and status in
RAM while many components
are turned OFF. Because RAM
is volatile, it requires power to
keep (refresh) the data. Click
the
Windows button and the
arrowhead next to the lock icon
to see this option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut [
Fn F1 ]
to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key except
[Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)
Hibernate
is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your
current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM
does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption
is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain
wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered.
Hibernate
saves more power compared to
Sleep
. Click the
Windows
button
and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. Recover
by pressing the power button. (NOTE: The power indicator will be
OFF in this mode.)
