CAUTION:
If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during
hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from hibernation. When the
notebook is in hibernation:
■
Do not add or remove a memory module.
■
Do not add or remove a hard drive.
■
Do not connect or disconnect an external device.
■
Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, or digital memory card.
Hibernation is a Windows-based feature that saves your work to
a hibernation file on the hard drive and then shuts down the
notebook.
When hibernation is complete, the power/standby and power
button lights are turned off.
When you restore from hibernation your work is returned to the
screen. Restoring from hibernation takes a little longer than
resuming from standby but is much faster than returning to your
place manually after restarting the notebook in Windows.
