Fn+
(ESC)
Fn+
(F12)
FN+ESC and FN+F12 give the same result. Those two FN key
combinations put the system into
Standby
or in
Hibernate
mode,
two power management states. The power management state
depends on the settings on the
Advanced
tab in the
Power
Management Properties
(Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power
Management). If you select the setting
Standby
, both key
combinations FN+ESC and FN+F12 put your notebook in Stanby
mode. To return the system to the active state, press any key. If you
select
Hibernate
, both key combinations FN+ESC and FN+F12 put
your notebook in Hibernate mode. Hibernate provides for the
lowest level of power consumption. When you execute this
command, the states of the system and of the peripheral devices are
written to the hard disk and the system power is turned off.
