“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”.
Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize
battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the
Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system.
The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components
into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand. These low
power modes are referred to as “Stand by” (or Suspend-to-RAM) and “Hibernation” mode or Suspend-to-Disk
(STD). The Standby mode is a simple function provided by the operating system. When the Notebook PC is in
either one of the power saving modes, the status will be shown by the following: “Stand by”: Power LED Blinks
and “Hibernation”: Power LED OFF.
