CAUTION: If the configuration of the computer is changed during
hibernation, resuming from hibernation may not be possible. When
the computer is in hibernation:
■
Do not dock the computer in or undock the computer from a
docking device.
■
Do not add or remove memory modules.
■
Do not insert or remove hard drives or optical drives.
■

Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard
drive, and then shuts down the computer. The power lights are
turned off. 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.
Ä
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your information
before initiating 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 when power is on or when
standby has been initiated.

reenable hibernation:
