Initiating Hibernation
Initiate Hibernation when you want to
■
Conserve power during a lengthy pause in your work.
■
Clear the screen without saving or losing your work.
■
“Bookmark” your work so it will return to the screen at your
stopping place after a lengthy pause.
Hibernation is an energy-saving feature that saves all information
in memory to a Hibernation file on the hard drive, then shuts
down the computer.
You do not need to close applications or save your work before
initiating Hibernation; when the computer exits Hibernation,
your work returns to the screen as it was when Hibernation
was initiated.
Hibernation can be initiated when the computer is running on
battery or external power and is not docked. Hibernation is not
available while the computer is docked in an optional
ArmadaStation or Armada MiniStation.
NOTE:
If you try to exit Hibernation when the battery pack is too
low to complete restoration of your work, press
Fn+Ctrl+Break
to
stop the restoration, then insert a fully charged battery pack or
connect the computer to external power. The restoration resumes
when power is provided.
For information on system-initiated Hibernation and on
customizing your system’s use of Hibernation, refer to
“Hibernation Tab” in the “Using Power Properties” section of
this chapter.
