Understanding Standby, Hibernation
and Shutdown
This section describes Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown and
explains when to implement them. Standby and Hibernation are
energy-saving features that can be initiated by you or by the
system.

Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.
When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access
memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared.

Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually
necessary, but is a recommended precaution.

When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light
flashes.
When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen
where you left off.

notebook in Standby for extended periods. Connect to an external
power source if your notebook will not be used for extended periods.
