Learning the Basics

Powering down the computer

5.375 x 8.375 ver 3.1

Hibernation command

The Hibernation command 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

disk 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 Turn Off.

❖ Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time

and battery power than restarting from Standby because

information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead

of memory.

❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the state

in which you left it, including all open programs and files

you were using.

For more information about the Hibernation command, see

“Using Hibernation” on page 109. For information about

going into Hibernation mode more quickly, see “Going into

Hibernation mode more quickly” on page 110.

Standby command

Standby puts the computer into a power-saving mode.

Standby holds the current state of the computer in memory so

that, when you restart the computer, you can continue

working from where you left off.
