4–2 Startup and Reference Guide—Part 2PowerUnderstanding Standby, Hibernation and ShutdownThis section describes Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown and explains when to implement them. Standby, Hibernation, and shutdown procedures are provided later in the chapter. Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that can be initiated by you or by the system. StandbyStandby 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. ■Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution.■When the notebook is in Standby, the power/standby light flashes.When you resume from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off.HibernationHibernation saves system memory to the hard drive, takes a snapshot of the notebook image, then shuts down the notebook. When you resume from Hibernation, your work returns to the screen exactly as you left it. The following information may be useful as you manage Hibernation:■Saving your work before initiating Hibernation is not usually necessary, but is a recommended precaution.HP-323140-001.book Page 2 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM
PowerStartup and Reference Guide—Part 2 4–3■To determine whether the notebook is in Hibernation or turned off, press the power button:❏If the notebook is in Hibernation, your work returns to the screen.❏If the notebook is off, Windows loads.■Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled. To prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition, disable Hibernation only during a battery pack calibration. To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable Hibernation check box is selected.ÄCAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook system is changed during Hibernation, it may not be possible to resume from Hibernation. When the notebook is in Hibernation:■Do not add or remove a memory module.■Do not connect or disconnect an external device.■Do not insert or remove a CD, DVD, PC Card, SD Card, or MMC.ShutdownShutdown procedures turn off the notebook. Whether to leave a battery pack in the notebook or in storage depends on how you work:■Leaving the battery pack in the notebook enables the battery pack to charge whenever the notebook is connected to external power and also protects your work during a power outage.■A battery pack in the notebook discharges more quickly, even when the notebook is turned off, than a battery pack that has been removed from the notebook and stored in a cool, dry location.HP-323140-001.book Page 3 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM
4–4 Startup and Reference Guide—Part 2PowerChoosing Standby, Hibernation or ShutdownIf you plan to resume shortly: Initiate Standby for shorter times and Hibernation for longer times or power conservation. The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration and the condition of the battery pack.■Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours.■Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Hibernation for several weeks.If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Shut down the notebook. If possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged. If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks: To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut down the notebook. Remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry location. If an external power supply is uncertain, for example, because of an electrical storm, save your work, then initiate Hibernation or shut down the notebook.HP-323140-001.book Page 4 Tuesday, April 1, 2003 4:20 PM
