HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your
notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable
this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable
the Hibernation feature follow these steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then
select Power Options.
2. Select “Choose what the power button does” or
“Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your
selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut
Down).
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off
the display and hard disks whether you are running the
notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then move the mouse
over the right arrow.
2. Select the desired action from the list.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/
optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the
power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss.
To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error,
use the Windows shut down procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then move the mouse
over the right arrow.
2. Select the desired action from the list.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with-
out exiting Windows or turning on your
notebook within 10 seconds of the note-
book being shut off may cause an error
when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-
tions, and shut down your operating sys-
tem prior to turning off the power. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.
