Using the Notebook PC 4

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 Notebook PC 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 eliminated because certain wake-up components

like LAN needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more

power compared to “Stand by”. To operate: Enable

hibernation in “Power Options” and select “Start” | “Shut

down”, and “Hibernate”.
