Sleep and Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows > Control
Panel > Power Options. In System Settings, you can define “Sleep/
Hibernate” or “Shut Down” for closing the display panel or pressing
the power button� “Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves power when your
Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components�
When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document
scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as
if you never left� “Shut Down” will close all applications and ask if
you want to save your work if any are not saved�
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status
on the hard disk drive� By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and
power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up
components like LAN needs to remain powered� “Hibernate” saves more power compared to
“Sleep”� Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option� Recover
by pressing the power button� (NOTE: The power indicator will be OFF in this mode�)
Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR)� This function stores
your current data and status in RAM while many components are
turned OFF� Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep
(refresh) the data� Click the Start button and the arrowhead next to the
lock icon to see this option� You can also use the keyboard shortcut
[Fn F1] to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key
except [Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)
Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can
use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)� You can control some of
these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup� ACPI power management settings
are made through the operating system� The power management features are designed to save
as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as
often as possible but also allow full operation on demand�
Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state� These
methods cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should
enter these states� The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU)�
• The fan turns ON for active cooling when temperature reaches the safe upper
limit�
• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds
the safe upper limit�
• The system shuts down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe
upper limit�
