Hibernate mode
Action
Saves the current session to disk, then
shuts down. Provides maximum power
savings while still allowing you to recover
the current session. Restores network
connections.
When
Click Start, Shut Down, Hibernate
(Windows 2000).
-OR-
Click Start, Turn Off Computer, then press
and hold Shift and click Hibernate
(Windows XP).
-OR-
Configure lid, power switch, or standby
button to perform the hibernation action.
Then close lid or press button (see “To set
power management properties,” above).
Resume
Press the blue standby button to recover
your current session. This may take several
minutes.
The computer also enters hibernate mode automatically when battery power reaches a
critically low level—see “To respond to a low-battery warning” on page 57. In Windows
98, hibernate mode occurs automatically with critical low battery power only; and
manual initiation of hibernate is not available by default (except, if you wish, you can
modify the default setting for the power switch or the standby button to manually initiate
hibernate mode instead).
