Standby/Hibernation Functions
If you use the standby or hibernation function, you can shut down the computer without
closing programs and documents. Upon restarting your computer from either the standby or
hibernation mode, you can immediately continue working in all programs, or documents that
were open at the time the computer was placed into the standby or hibernation mode.
Differences between the Standby and Hibernation Functions

hibernation mode be used instead of the standby mode in order to maintain data.
