Hibernation Mode
In Hibernation mode, all power shuts off (the computer does
not consume any power). The computer saves all system
information onto the hard disk before it enters Hibernation
mode. Once you turn on the power, the computer restores
this information and resumes where you left off upon
leaving Hibernation mode.
Note: If the computer does not enter Standby mode after
pressing the Standby hot key, it means the operating
system will not allow the computer to enter the power-
saving mode.
Warning: Unstored data is lost when you turn off the
computer power in Standby mode or when the
battery is drained.
