Hibernation mode

Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it
first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk.
Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain
the saved information, system settings are retained
indefinitely.
Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖
While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no main
battery power.
❖
Because the state of the system is stored on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
