disc or an external memory card.

Intel Rapid Start Technology

For select models, the Intel Rapid Start Technology (RST) feature is enabled by default. Rapid Start
Technology allows your computer to resume quickly from inactivity.
Rapid Start Technology manages your power-saving options as follows:
●
Sleep—Rapid Start Technology allows you to select the Sleep state. To exit from Sleep, press
any key, activate the TouchPad, or press the power button briefly.
●
Hibernation—Rapid Start Technology initiates Hibernation after a period of inactivity while in the
Sleep state when running on battery power or on external power or when the battery reaches a
critical level. After Hibernation is initiated, press the power button to resume your work.
NOTE: Rapid Start Technology can be disabled in Setup Utility (BIOS). If you want to be able to
initiate the Hibernation state, you must enable user-initiated Hibernation using Power Options. See
Enabling and exiting user-initiated Hibernation on page
