Standby and Hibernation

Standby and hibernation are energy-saving features that conserve

power and reduce startup time. They can be initiated by you or by

the system. For more information, refer to “Initiating Standby,

Hibernation or Shutdown.”

Standby

ÄCAUTION: To avoid a complete battery discharge, do not leave your

notebook in standby for extended periods. Connect the notebook to an

external power source.

Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.

When standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access

memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. When you resume

from standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off.

■Saving your work before initiating standby is not usually

necessary, but it is a recommended precaution.

■When the notebook is in standby, the power/standby lights

blink.

6Power

Hibernation

ÄCAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook is changed during

hibernation, resuming from hibernation may not be possible. When the

notebook is in hibernation:

■Do not dock the notebook in or undock the notebook from a

docking device.

■Do not add or remove memory modules.

■Do not insert or remove any hard drives or optical drives.

■Do not connect or disconnect external devices.

■Do not insert or remove a Digital Media Slot card, a PC Card, or

an ExpressCard (select models only).

Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard

drive, and then shuts down the notebook. When you restore from

hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off. If

a power-on password has been set, the password must be entered

to restore from hibernation.

You can disable hibernation. However, if hibernation is disabled

and the system reaches a low-battery condition, the system will

not automatically save your work while power is on or when

standby has been initiated.

Use Power Options in Microsoft® Windows® Control Panel to

reenable hibernation:

»Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and

Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. Make

sure that the Enable hibernation check box is selected.

To set the time interval after which the system initiates

hibernation:

1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and

Maintenance > Power Options.

2. Click one of the intervals in the System hibernates list.

Power 7

Initiating Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown

The following sections explain when to initiate standby or

hibernation and when to shut down your notebook.

✎You cannot initiate any type of networking communications or

perform any computer functions while the notebook is in

standby or hibernation.

When You Leave Your Work

Initiating standby clears the screen. When the notebook is in

standby, it uses less power than when it is on. Your work returns

instantly to the screen when you resume from standby.

Initiating hibernation clears the screen and saves your work to the

hard drive. When the notebook is in hibernation, it uses much less

power than when it is in standby.

Shutting down the notebook and removing the battery pack is

recommended to extend the life of the battery pack when the

notebook will be unused and disconnected from external power

for an extended period. For details on battery pack storage, refer

to “Storing a Battery Pack.”

When a Reliable Power Supply Is Unavailable

Make sure that hibernation remains enabled, especially if you are

operating the notebook on battery power and do not have access

to an external power supply. If the battery pack fails, hibernation

saves your work to a hibernation file and shuts down the

notebook.

It is recommended that if you pause your work when the power

supply is uncertain, you do one of the following:

■Initiate hibernation.

■Shut down the notebook.

■Save your work, and then initiate standby.
