Using System Standby/Hibernate
System standby/hibernate is a very useful power management tool. For example, after
your computer has entered System standby mode, you can restart your computer more
quickly when compared to a restart, after a normal shutdown operation. When your
computer resumes from System standby/hibernate, the system restores the exact last
state of your computer. In Windows, you can define System standby or System
hibernate the system enters under what conditions.
•
System standby stores the current condition of your computer in RAM and stops
power supply to all but a few essential components. Your system enters and
resumes from System standby per the conditions mentioned later. In System
standby, the power indicator blinks green. To resume from System standby, operate
your computer again.

disk and turns off your computer. Your system enters and resumes from System

When entering/resuming from System standby/hibernate, follow these
instructions:

power supply to your computer is stopped, the RAM contents will be
lost.
• Select your user account if Windows requires when your computer
resumes from System standby/hibernate.
