Shutdown - Compaq 311245-001 Startup And Reference Manual

To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or
turned off, press the power button:
Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To
prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition,
disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration.
To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options
icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable
Hibernation check box is selected.
CAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during
Ä
Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the
notebook is in Hibernation:
Do not add or remove a memory module.
Do not connect or disconnect an external device.
Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC.

Shutdown

Shutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave
a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how
you work:
Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery
pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to
external power and also protects your work during a power
outage.
A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even
when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has
been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry
location.
