Hibernation; Battery Operating Time - Compaq LTE Elite Maintenance And Service Manual

Hibernation

Hibernation is a power conservation mode that performs the following
functions:
o Locks the keyboard and clears the screen.
o Saves all current information in memory and the place in the application
to the hard drive.
o Turns the computer off.
Hibernation is preenabled on the computer and the Hibernation file is
preinstalled on the hard drive. The Hibernation file is slightly larger
than the total RAM memory of the computer (system memory and memory
expansion board).
Hibernation is initiated by one of the following means:
o Automatically according to the preselected system timeout.
o Automatically when the battery reaches a low battery level if
preselected.
o Manually by simultaneously pressing the Fn key and standby button.
When the computer is turned on again, the system exits Hibernation and the
user is returned to the previous place in the application from the hard
drive.
NOTE: Hibernation cannot be initiated when the computer is in an expansion
base or a convenience base.
