Understanding Standby, Hibernation
and Shutdown
This section describes Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown and
explains when to implement them. Standby, Hibernation, and
shutdown procedures are provided later in the chapter. Standby
and Hibernation are energy-saving features that can be initiated
by you or by the system.
Standby
Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.
When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access
memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared.
■Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually
necessary, but is a recommended precaution.
■When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light
flashes.
When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen
where you left off.
Hibernation
Hibernation saves system memory to the hard drive, takes a
snapshot of the notebook image, then shuts down the notebook.
When you resume from Hibernation, your work returns to the
screen exactly as you left it.
The following information may be useful as you manage
Hibernation:
■Saving your work before initiating Hibernation is not usually
necessary, but is a recommended precaution.

Power
Startup and Reference Guide—Part 2 4–3
■To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or
turned off, press the power button:
❏If the notebook is in Hibernation, your work returns to
the screen.
❏If the notebook is off, Windows loads.
■Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To
prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition,
disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration.
To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options
icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable
Hibernation check box is selected.
ÄCAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during
Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the
notebook is in Hibernation:
■Do not add or remove a memory module.
■Do not connect or disconnect an external device.
■Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC.
Shutdown
Shutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave
a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how
you work:
■Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery
pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to
external power and also protects your work during a power
outage.
■A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even
when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has
been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry
location.

4–4 Startup and Reference Guide—Part 2
Power
Choosing Standby, Hibernation or
Shutdown
If you plan to resume shortly: Initiate Standby for shorter times
and Hibernation for longer times or power conservation.
The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or
Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration
and the condition of the battery pack.
■Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than
leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the
screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new
battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours.
■Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less
power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation
takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is
faster than returning to your place manually after restarting
the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically
support Hibernation for several weeks.
If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Shut down the notebook. If
possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an
inserted battery pack fully charged.
If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more
than 2 weeks: To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut
down the notebook. Remove the battery pack and store it in a
cool, dry location.
If an external power supply is uncertain, for example, because of
an electrical storm, save your work, then initiate Hibernation or
shut down the notebook.
