Low-Power States
Your computer can enter three different low-power states to conserve power: Standby, Hibernate and
Power Off. These states can be entered manually, or after a period of inactivity. You can configure the
Power Saver utility to define how and when each of these occur.
Standby
Most devices in the system are powered off, but the contents of system memory are retained. Standby is
sometimes referred to as Suspend to RAM. When the computer returns from standby mode, the desktop
appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Resume time is
very quick.
Hibernate
Hibernate, or Suspend to Disk, is similar to Standby, except that the current state of the computer is
co
p
ied to the hard disk in a s
p
ecial file. After this occurs, all devices in the com
p
uter are turned off.
