CAUTION:
playback functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep while reading from or writing to a
disc or an external memory card.
NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions
while the computer is in the Sleep state.

Intel Rapid Start Technology (select models only)

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.

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
