Hibernate
Hibernate
uses the least amount of power of all the power-saving states and saves
all of your information on a part of the hard disk before it turns the system off. If a
power failure occurs the system can restore your work from the hard disk; if a power
failure occurs when work is saved only to memory, then the work will be lost.
Hi-
bernate
will also return you to where you last left off within seconds. You should
put your mobile PC into
Hibernate
if you will not use the computer for a period of
time, and will not have the chance to charge the battery. To add
Hibernate
to the
Power Menu
see
“Adding Hibernate/Sleep to the Power Menu” on page 3 - 9
.
Shut down
You should
Shut down
the computer if you plan to install new hardware (don’t for-
get to remove the battery and follow all the safety instructions in
Chapter 6
), plan
to be away from the computer for several days, or you do not need it to wake up and
run a scheduled task. Returning to full operation from
Shut down
takes longer than
from
Sleep
or
Hibernate
.
