Hibernation Mode - Toshiba Satellite M30-SP350 User Manual

Hibernation mode

The hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk
when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned
on, the previous state is restored. The hibernation feature does not save
the status of peripheral devices.
Save your data. While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the
contents of memory to the HDD. However, for safety sake, it is best to
save your data manually.
Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the universal AC
adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the Disk indicator to go
out.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
