Getting Started
Standby mode
In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices
are in standby mode.
Benefits of standby mode
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does
hibernation feature.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the duration set by the system Standby
feature.
■ You can use the panel power off feature.
Executing standby mode
You can enter sleep mode in one of three ways:
1. Click Windows Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then click
Standby.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when
you shut down the computer.
Turning Off Your Computer where Electronic Devices are Regulated or
Controlled.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the
computer completely or put the computer into Hibernation mode instead of
allowing it to go into Standby mode, and turn off any wireless
communication switches or devices, while in Standby mode, the computer
operating system may reactivate itself to run pre-programmed tasks or to
preserve unsaved data, and might interfere with aviation or other systems,
possibly causing serious injury.
■ Before entering standby mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory will be lost.
■ When the computer is shut down in standby mode, the power indicator
glows blinking green.
■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen
the operating time by shutting down in hibernation mode. Standby
mode consumes more power.
