Using power saving modes
In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices to conserve power, your computer
has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. Use the Standby and Hibernate power saving modes to
override a profile setting or initiate an immediate action.
Standby
— Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory (RAM). The system remains on, and the
computer screen (LCD) is off.
Hibernate
— Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk. Hibernate mode consumes the
lowest level of power. Your computer enters Hibernate mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 8
percent, regardless of the setting you select.
Since some software programs and peripheral devices prevent the system from entering Hibernate mode, save your
data frequently to avoid data loss.

the power indicator turns off.
