The usual method of powering down your computer is the Shut
down command described in
“Shutting down the computer” on
page 54 .
With your Tecra 8200 Series computer, you have the opportunity
to temporarily suspend the operation of your system without
having to shutdown Windows. When you suspend the computer, it
takes a “snapshot” of the current state of your programs and data
and saves it. When you resume working on your computer, the
information is recalled, returning the computer to its previous
state. You may suspend your computer in one of the following
ways:
❖
Click Start, then Hibernate (Windows 98 Second Edition
only).
Hibernation mode saves your current work to the hard disk.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Hibernation mode is the safest method.
If you use Hibernation and your battery dies, you will not
lose the your information.
❖
Click Start, Shut down, then Stand by (Windows 98 Second
Edition only).
❖
Click Start, then Suspend (Windows NT only).
Standby and Suspend/Resume modes store the current state of
the computer, including all your open files and programs, in
memory until you turn on the computer again. The computer
uses power supplied by the backup battery to store this
information.
