Hibernation mode
The hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk when
the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned on, the
previous state is restored. The hibernation feature does not save the status
of peripheral devices.
Benefits of Hibernation
The hibernation feature provides the following benefits:
■ Can be configured so that data is automatically saved to the hard disk
before the computer shuts down because of a low battery.
■ You can return to your previous working environment immediately when
you turn on the computer.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System hibernate
feature.
■ You can use the panel power off feature.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
1. While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the contents of
memory to the Hard Disk Drive. Data will be lost if you remove the battery
or disconnect the AC adapter before the save is completed. Wait for the
Built-in Hard Disk Drive indicator to go out.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation feature
must be enabled in two places in Power Options: Hibernate tab and
TOSHIBA Power Saver: Basic Setup tab. Otherwise, the computer will shut
down in Standby mode. If battery power becomes depleted, data saved in
Standby will be lost.
