Power Management D - 19

Standby

Standby saves the least amount of power, but takes the shortest time to return to full

operation. During Standby the hard disk is turned off, and the CPU is made to idle at

its slowest speed. All open applications are retained in memory. When you are not

using your computer for a certain length of time, which you specify in the operating

system, it will enter Standby mode to save power.

Hibernate

Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the HDD be-

fore it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest time

to return to full operation. You will need to enable Hibernate mode from the Hiber-

nate tab in the Power Options control panel. The system will resume from Hiber-

nate mode by pressing the power button.

System Resume

The system can resume

from Standby mode by:

• Pressing the power

button

• An alarm resume that

is enabled and expires

• An incoming call

received on the

modem (if enabled)

• Network card activity

(if enabled)
