Using System Standby/Hibernate
System standby/hibernate is a very useful power management tool. For example, after
the computer has entered the system standby mode, you can restart the computer more
quickly when compared to restarting after a normal shutdown operation. When the
computer resumes from the system standby/hibernate, the system restores the exact
last state of the computer. In Windows, the System standby and System hibernate are
defined as following:
•
System standby stores the current condition of the computer in RAM and stops
power supply to all but a few essential components. Your system enters and
resumes from the system standby per the conditions mentioned later. In the system
standby, the power indicator blinks green. To resume from the system standby,
press any key.
•
System hibernate saves the current condition of the computer in part of the hard
disk and turns off the computer. Your system enters and resumes from the system
hibernate per the conditions mentioned later. In the system hibernate the power
indicator is off. To resume from the system hibernate, press the power button.
When entering/resuming from the system standby/hibernate, follow these
instructions:
• Finish communications, printing, and playing music or video before
entering the system standby/hibernate.
• Do not operate the computer or peripheral devices, or
connect/disconnect peripheral devices, while entering/resuming from
the system standby/hibernate.
• Save your data before the computer enters the system standby. If the
power supply to the computer is stopped, the RAM contents will be
lost.
Select your user account if Windows requires when the computer resumes
from the system standby/hibernate.
