Hibernation
Ä
CAUTION: If the configuration of the computer system is changed during
hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from hibernation. When the
computer is in hibernation:
■ Do not connect or disconnect the computer from an expansion
product.
■ Do not add or remove any memory modules.
■ Do not insert remove or replace any hard drives or optical drives.
■ Do not connect or disconnect an external device.
■ Do not insert or remove an external media card such as an
ExpressCard or a Memory Reader card.
Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard drive
and then shuts down the computer. When hibernation is complete,
the power lights are turned off.
When you restore from hibernation, your work is returned to the
screen where you left off. If a power-on password has been set,
the password must be entered to restore from hibernation.
Restoring from hibernation takes a little longer than resuming
from standby but is much faster than returning to your place
manually after restarting the computer.
