Stand By And Hibernate - Asus R2H-BH059T-2 Hardware User Manual

UltraMobilePC

Stand by and Hibernate

Power management settings can be found in the Windows control panel. The following shows
the power options properties in Windows. You can define "Stand By" or "Shut down" for
closing the display panel, pressing the power button, or activating sleep mode. "Stand by"
and "Hibernate" saves power when your UltraMobilePC is not in use by turning OFF certain
components. When you resume your work, your last status (such as a document scrolled
down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. "Shut down" will
close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved.
"Stand by" is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR).
This function stores your current data and status in RAM
while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM
is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. To
operate: select "Start" | "Shut down", and "Stand by".
"Hibernate" is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and
stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive.
By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically
refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced
but not completely. "Hibernate" saves more power
compared to "Stand by". To operate: Enable hibernation
in "Power Options" and select "Start" | "Shut down",
and "Hibernate".
