6 The Power System (XP)
6.1.2.2 Hibernate Mode
In Hibernate mode, system data is copied to the hard drive, and your notebook is completely
shut down to save power. When exiting Hibernate mode, your notebook returns to the same
operating state it was in before entering Hibernate mode.
Hibernate mode can be enabled/disabled in the Power Options Properties window.
If enabled, your notebook will enter Hibernate mode if the battery charge level becomes
critically low.
Depending on how you set the Power Management Options on the Advanced tab in the
Power Options Properties window, use one of the following methods to enter hibernate
mode:
• When you close the lid of your notebook
• When you press the power button
• When you press the sleep hot key
• Start > Turn Off Computer > Hibernate (if the Hibernate option does not
show, press Shift, and the Standby option will switch to Hibernate).
If the Hibernate option is not available for these methods, Hibernate mode has not been
enabled. Check the Enable hibernation box on the Hibernate tab of the Power Options
Properties window and click Apply to enable Hibernation.
To exit Hibernate mode, press the power button. You cannot exit Hibernate mode by
pressing a key or the Touch Pad. For more information on hibernate mode, see 2.1 Turning
Your Notebook On and Off.
