You will use the power switch
and the power/suspend light
or place it in Suspend (Standby) or Hibernation.
Suspend, called Standby in Windows 98, is an energy-saving
feature that reduces power to system components that are not
being used. When the computer is in Suspend (Standby), your
work is saved in random access memory (RAM) and the
screen is cleared.
Hibernation is an energy-saving feature that saves all
information in RAM to a hibernation file on the hard drive,
then shuts down the computer.
If you are leaving your work, consider:
If you plan to resume shortly—Initiating Suspend (Standby)
clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the computer on,
and your work returns instantly to the screen when you press the
suspend button. A fully charged battery pack can support Suspend
(Standby) for up to a week, unless frequent charging and
discharging has shortened battery pack life.
