Conserving Power Throughout the System

With this function you can stop the notebook's operation and restart
where you left off. This system features Standby and Hibernate
3
suspend mode levels (Hibernate mode will need to be enabled by
clicking the option in the Hibernate tab in the Power Options con-
trol panel - Figure 3 - 11 on page 3-20).

Hibernate Mode vs. Shutdown

"Hibernate Mode" and "Shutdown" are the same in that the system
is off and you need to press the power button to turn it on. Their main
difference is:
When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you
last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the appli-
cation(s) and file(s) you last used.
You can use either method depending on your needs.

Standby Mode vs. Hibernate Mode

If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put
the system on standby instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time
to wake up the system from Hibernate Mode than from Standby
Mode.
