Hibernation Mode - IBM TransNote Hardware Maintenance Manual

v If the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the
battery power is low. (Alternatively, if Hibernate when
battery becomes low has been selected in the "Power
Management Properties" window, the computer goes
into hibernation mode.)
Note: Even if you don't set the low-battery alarm, the
charge indicator lets you know that the battery is
low, and then the computer enters the power-saving
mode automatically. This default low-battery
behavior is independent of the operating system; so
if you have set the low-battery alarm, the computer
may not do what you specified. It chooses either
your setting or the default setting, whichever is
appropriate.
Any one of the following events causes the computer to
resume operation from standby mode:
v The Fn key is pressed.
v The ring indicator (RI) is signaled by a serial device or a
PC Card device.
v The power switch is turned on.
v In Windows operating system, the Scheduled Tasks
setting has priority over the Resume on timer selection
in the "Power Management Properties" window.
Note: The computer does not accept any input
immediately after it enters standby mode. Wait a
few seconds before taking any action to reenter
operation mode.

Hibernation mode:

In hibernation mode, the following occurs:
v The system status, RAM, VRAM, and setup data are
stored on the hard disk.
v The system is powered off.
Any one of the following events causes the computer to
enter hibernation mode:
v The Fn + F9 keys are pressed.
v The power switch is turned off and the mode is set to
Power switch mode [Hibernation].
v The timer conditions are satisfied in suspend mode (for
operating systems other than Windows 98).
v A critically low battery condition occurs and the mode is
set to Hibernate when battery becomes low.
When the power is turned on, the computer leaves
hibernation mode and resumes operation. The hibernation
file in the boot record on the hard-disk drive is read, and
system status is restored from the hard-disk drive.
