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:
❑ Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically 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 fea-
ture.
❑ 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.
❑ While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the
contents of memory to the HDD. Data will be lost if you
remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the
save is completed. Wait for the Disk indicator to go out.
❑ Do not install or remove a memory module while the com-
puter 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: the Hibernate
tab in Power Options and Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power
Saver. Otherwise, the computer will shut down in Sleep mode. If
battery power becomes depleted, data saved in Sleep mode will be
lost.
