Power Management
Power-Saving States 3 - 7
3
Hibernate
Hibernate uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves
all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a
power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power
failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost.
Hi-
bernate will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should
put your mobile PC into Hibernate if you will not use the computer for a period of
time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery. To add Hibernate to the
Power Menu see “Adding Hibernate/Sleep to the Power Menu” on page 3 - 9 .
Shut down
You should Shut down the computer if you plan to install new hardware (don’t for-
get to remove the battery and follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 6 ), plan
to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and
run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from
Shut down takes longer than
from Sleep or Hibernate .
