Learning the Basics
Turning off the computer
85
Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and
battery power than restarting from Shut down or
Hibernation mode.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the
mode in which you left it, including all open programs
and files you were using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Standby command and
the battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be
sure to save your work first.
Hibernation command
Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but
it first saves the current state of the computer to the hard
disk. Since Hibernation mode does not require power to
maintain the saved information, the system settings are
retained indefinitely. Restoring information from the hard
drive takes longer than restoring it from memory. When you
start up again, the computer runs a self-test, loads the
operating system, and then returns to the state in which you
left it.
Factors when choosing Hibernation mode:
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no
battery power.
Because the state of the system is held on the hard
disk, no data is lost if the battery discharges.
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses less time and
battery power than restarting from Shut down.
