down or turn off your computer, save your files and make sure
the disk activity lights are off.

Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode 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, system settings are retained
indefinitely.
Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖ While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no main
battery power.
❖ Because the state of the system is stored on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
❖ When starting up again, Hibernation takes less time and
consumes less main battery power than does turning off
the computer.
❖ Since information is being retrieved from the hard disk
rather than from memory, restarting from Hibernation
takes a little more time and consumes more main battery
power to start up than when restarting from Standby.
❖ 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 information on placing your computer into, and
configuring your computer for, Hibernation mode see “Using
and configuring Hibernation mode” on page 89.
