Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■ Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)
■ Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU
and all other devices effectively enter a “sleep” mode)
■ Boot (does not save data in memory)
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control
Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).
Hot keys
You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN + F4 to enter
Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5,
The Keyboard for further
details.
At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after
you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
