Power and Power-up Modes
Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■ Boot: Computer shuts down without saving data. Always save your
work before you turn the computer off in boot mode.
■ Hibernation: Data in memory is saved to the hard disk.
■ Standby: Data is maintained in the computer’s main memory.
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Standby Mode and
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start Control
Panel Performance and Maintenance Power Options).
Hot keys
You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Standby Mode or FN + F4 to
enter Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard for
further details.
Panel power on/off
You can set up your computer so that power is turned off automatically
when you close the display panel, and turned on again when you open it.
Please note that this function is only available for Standby Mode or
Hibernation Mode, not for Boot Mode.
System auto off
This feature turns the system off automatically if it is not used for a set
duration. The system shuts down in Standby Mode or Hibernation Mode.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting
Started.
If the panel power off function is enabled, and you manually shut down
Windows, do not close the computer's display panel until the shut down
process has been completed.
