Icon Description
Standby
Puts the system into Standby mode, a power management state that saves the state of the system and peripheral
devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system remains on. To return the system to
the active state, press any key or the power button on your notebook.
Hibernate
Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The system writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to
the hard disk and turns off the system power. To return the system to the original state, use the power button to turn on
power. The system saves the data in the Save to Disk Partition on the hard disk drive.
Conserving battery power
When using the notebook with a battery, the LCD display and the hard disk drive can be set to switch off
automatically to conserve battery power.
