Power Management; Hibernation - Motorola ML900 Operation Manual

Power Management

Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) for power management. The power management feature allows
you to reduce the power consumption for energy saving.
With an ACPI-compliant operating system such as Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, power supply to different computer components is
controlled on an as-needed basis. This allows maximum power
conservation and performance at the same time.
In general, Windows' power management works in this way:
What...
Power to the hard disk is turned off
Power to the display is turned off
The computer enters Standby mode.
The hard disk and display are turned
off and the entire system consumes
less power.
The computer enters Hibernation
mode. (See the next subsection for
more information.)
* depends on your settings in Windows.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows' Help.

Hibernation

Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many
applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these
applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed
before the system can be turned off.
