Standby and Hibernation
Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that conserve
power and reduce startup time. They can be initiated by you or
by the system. Refer to the “Initiating Standby, Hibernation or
Shutdown” section in this chapter for details about when to use
each setting.
Standby
Ä
CAUTION: To avoid a complete battery discharge, do not leave your
tablet PC in Standby for extended periods. Connect the tablet PC to an
external power source.
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. When you resume
from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off.
■
Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually
necessary but is a recommended precaution.
■
When the tablet PC is in Standby, the standby light and the
power/standby light flash.
Hibernation
Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard
drive, and then shuts down the tablet PC. When you restore from
Hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off. If
a power-on password has been set, the password must be entered
to restore from Hibernation.
You can disable Hibernation. However, if Hibernation is disabled,
and the system reaches a low-battery condition, the system will
not automatically save your work while power is on or when
Standby has been initiated.
In the Power Options window, Hibernation is not displayed as an
option if it has been disabled. You must enable Hibernation in
order to select it in the Power Options window. To verify that

support check box is selected.
Ä
CAUTION: If the configuration of the tablet PC is changed during
Hibernation, resuming from Hibernation may not be possible. When the
tablet PC is in Hibernation:
■ Do not dock or undock the tablet PC in a docking device.
■ Do not add or remove memory modules.
■ Do not insert or remove any hard drives.
■ Do not connect or disconnect external devices.
■ Do not insert or remove a PC Card or a Secure Digital (SD)
Memory Card.
Initiating Standby, Hibernation or
Shutdown
The following sections explain when to initiate Standby or
Hibernation and when to shut down your tablet PC.
When You Leave Your Work
Initiating Standby clears the screen and uses less power than
leaving the tablet PC on. Your work returns instantly to the screen
when you resume from Standby.
Initiating Hibernation clears the screen, saves your work to the
hard drive, and uses much less power than Standby.
Shutting down the tablet PC and removing the battery pack is
recommended to extend the life of the battery pack when the
tablet PC will be disconnected from external power for an
extended period. For details on battery pack storage, refer to the
“Storing a Battery Pack” section in this chapter.

Power
When the Power Supply Is Uncertain
Make sure that Hibernation remains enabled, especially if you are
operating the tablet PC on battery power and do not have access
to an external power supply. If the battery pack fails, Hibernation
saves your work to a hibernation file and shuts down the tablet
PC.
HP recommends that if you pause your work when the power
supply is uncertain, you do one of the following:
■
Initiate Hibernation.
■
Shut down the tablet PC.
■
Save your work, and then initiate Standby.
When Using Infrared Communication or
Drive Media
Ä
CAUTION: Do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while using drive
media. Doing so may result in possible video and audio degradation
and loss of audio or video playback functionality.
Standby and Hibernation interfere with the use of infrared and
Bluetooth communication, and drive media. Note the following
guidelines:
■
If the tablet PC is in Standby or Hibernation, you cannot
initiate an infrared or Bluetooth transmission.
■
If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated while a
drive medium (such as a diskette, CD, or DVD) is in use:
❏ Your playback may be interrupted.
❏ You may see a warning message: “Putting the computer
into Hibernation or Standby may stop the playback. Do
you want to continue?” Select No.
❏ You may need to restart the playback to resume audio and
video.

Using Battery Packs
When the tablet PC is connected to external AC power, the tablet
PC runs on AC power. When a charged battery pack is in the
tablet PC and the tablet PC is not connected to external power, the
tablet PC runs on battery power.
The tablet PC switches between AC power and battery power
according to the availability of an external AC power source. For
example, if the tablet PC contains a charged battery pack and is
running on external AC power supplied through the AC adapter,
the tablet PC switches to battery power if the AC adapter is
disconnected from the tablet PC.
You can leave a battery pack in the tablet PC or in storage,
depending on how you work. Keeping a battery pack in the tablet
PC enables the battery pack to charge whenever the tablet PC is
connected to external AC power and also protects your work in
case of a power outage.

Wireless Local Area Network (Select
Models Only)
With the 802.11 wireless device, you can access a wireless local
area network (WLAN), which is composed of other computers
and accessories linked by a wireless router or a wireless access
point.
■
A large scale WLAN, such as a corporate WLAN or public
WLAN hotspot, typically use wireless access points, that can
handle a large number of computers and accessories and can
separate critical network functions.
■
A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless
router, which enables several wireless and wired computers to
share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without
additional pieces of hardware or software. Wireless access
point and wireless router are often used interchangeably.
Notebooks with 802.11 WLAN devices may support one or more
of three IEEE physical layer standards:
■
802.11a
■
802.11b
■
802.11g
There are three popular implementations of WLAN adapters:
■
802.11b only
■
802.11b/g
■
802.11a/b/g
802.11b, the first popular WLAN standard, supports data rates of
up to 11 Mbps and operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. 802.11g,
which came later, also operates at 2.4 GHz but supports data rates
of up to 54 Mbps. An 802.11g WLAN device is backward
compatible with 802.11b devices, so they can operate on the same
network. 802.11a supports data rates of up to 54 Mbps but
operates at a frequency of 5 GHz. 802.11a is not compatible with

Using Wireless Security Features
When you set up your own WLAN or access an existing WLAN,
always ensure that security features are protecting the WLAN. If
you do not enable security on your WLAN, an unauthorized
wireless user can access your notebook data and use your Internet
connection without your knowledge.
The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA)-Personal and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). In
addition to enabling WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption
on the router, you may want to use one or more of the following
security measures:
■
Change the default network name (SSID) and password.
■
Use a firewall.
■
Set security on your Web browser.
■
Enable MAC address filtering on the router.
For more information about WLAN security, refer to the HP Web
site at http://www.hp.com/go/wireless for details.
Installing Wireless Software (Optional)
Microsoft Windows XP supports WLAN configuration with the
Zero Client Configuration feature. HP provides a separate WLAN
configuration utility that must be installed if you plan to use
Cisco Compatible Extensions. Cisco Compatible Extensions
enable wireless devices to use Cicso-based WLANs.

■
Network access points.
■
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA).
■
Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone).
■
Imaging devices (printer, camera).
■
Audio devices (headset, speakers).
The devices are represented in the Bluetooth for Windows
software by graphical icons that resemble their physical features,
which makes them easily recognizable and distinguishes them
from other classes of devices.
The Bluetooth for Windows software provides the following
functions:

(peer-to-peer) network. Provides a mechanism that enables a
Bluetooth device to access a remote network through a
network access point. The network access points can be
traditional LAN data access points or group ad-hoc networks
that represent a set of devices that are attached only to one
another.
■
Dial-up networking—Connects Bluetooth devices to the
Internet.

Wireless Local Area Network (Select
Models Only)
With the 802.11 wireless device, you can access a wireless local
area network (WLAN), which is composed of other computers
and accessories linked by a wireless router or a wireless access
point.
■
A large scale WLAN, such as a corporate WLAN or public
WLAN hotspot, typically use wireless access points, that can
handle a large number of computers and accessories and can
separate critical network functions.
■
A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless
router, which enables several wireless and wired computers to
share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without
additional pieces of hardware or software. Wireless access
point and wireless router are often used interchangeably.
Tablet PCs with 802.11 WLAN devices may support one or more
of three IEEE physical layer standards:
■
802.11a
■
802.11b
■
802.11g
There are three popular implementations of WLAN adapters:
■
802.11b only
■
802.11b/g
■
802.11a/b/g
802.11b, the first popular WLAN standard, supports data rates of
up to 11 Mbps and operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. 802.11g,
which came later, also operates at 2.4 GHz but supports data rates
of up to 54 Mbps. An 802.11g WLAN device is backward
compatible with 802.11b devices, so they can operate on the same
network. 802.11a supports data rates of up to 54 Mbps but
operates at a frequency of 5 GHz. 802.11a is not compatible with

Using Wireless Security Features
When you set up your own WLAN or access an existing WLAN,
always ensure that security features are protecting the WLAN. If
you do not enable security on your WLAN, an unauthorized
wireless user can access your tablet PC data and use your Internet
connection without your knowledge.
The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA)-Personal and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). In
addition to enabling WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption
on the router, you may want to use one or more of the following
security measures:
■
Change the default network name (SSID) and password.
■
Use a firewall.
■
Set security on your Web browser.
■
Enable MAC address filtering on the router.
For more information about WLAN security, refer to the HP Web
site at http://www.hp.com/go/wireless for details.
Installing Wireless Software (Optional)
Microsoft Windows XP supports WLAN configuration with the
Zero Client Configuration feature. HP provides a separate WLAN
configuration utility that must be installed if you plan to use

Windows Passwords
Administrator password
Used to log on to the tablet as the
Windows administrator after Windows
has been configured to prompt for a
password at startup.
User password
Used to log on to the tablet PC as
a user after Windows has been
configured to prompt for a password
at startup.
HP and Windows Password Guidelines
HP and Windows passwords are not interchangeable. You must
use an HP password at an HP password prompt and a Windows
password at a Windows password prompt. For example:
■
If a power-on password is set, the power-on password (not
a Windows password) must be entered when the tablet PC
starts up or restores from Hibernation.
■
If you set Windows to prompt for a password before
resuming from Standby, a Windows password (not a
power-on password) must be entered to resume from
Standby.
The same word or series of letters or numbers used for an HP
password can be used for another HP password or for a Windows
password, with these considerations:
■
HP passwords can be any combination of up to 32 letters and
numbers and are not case sensitive.
■
An HP password must be set and entered with the same type
of keys. For example, an HP password set with keyboard
number keys will not be recognized if it is entered with
embedded numeric keypad number keys. For information
about the embedded numeric keypad, refer to the “Keypads”
section in Chapter 3, “Pointing Devices and Keyboard.”

MultiBoot
A bootable medium or network interface card (NIC) contains files
that the tablet PC needs to start and operate properly. The
MultiBoot utility, disabled by default, enables you to identify the
devices and control the sequence in which the system attempts to

Devices in Computer Setup” in this chapter.
Understanding the Default Boot
Sequence
By default, when more than one bootable device is in the system,
the tablet PC chooses the startup device by searching enabled
devices and locations in a predetermined sequence.
On every boot, the system looks for bootable drive A devices
first. If it fails to find a bootable drive A device, it searches for
bootable drive C devices. Drive A devices include optical drives
and diskette drives. Drive C devices include optical drives and
primary hard drives.
The primary hard drive can only boot as drive C. The NIC does
not have a drive letter assigned to it.

Understanding MultiBoot Results
Before changing the startup sequence, consider the following:
10–4
■
When the tablet PC restarts after the boot order has been
changed, it considers only the first device of each drive type
when searching for a startup device (except for optical
devices).
For example, the tablet PC is connected to an optional
docking device containing an optical drive and a diskette
drive. In the default boot sequence, the optical drive comes
before the diskette drive. If the system fails to boot to the
optical drive (either because it does not contain a disc or
because the disc is not bootable) it does not try to boot to the
diskette drive. Instead, it tries to boot to he first hard drive
device present in the system. However, if there are two
optical devices, and the first optical device does not boot, the
system tries to boot to other optical devices in the system.
■
Changing the boot sequence also changes the logical drive
designations. For example, if you start up from a CD-ROM
drive with a disc that boots as drive C, that CD-ROM drive
becomes drive C and the hard drive in the hard drive bay
becomes drive D.
■
Starting up from a NIC does not affect logical drive
designations because no drive letter is associated with the
NIC.
■
Drives in an optional docking device are treated like external
USB devices in the boot sequence and must be enabled in
Computer Setup.
