Using Suspend and Hibernation Suspend Suspend is an energy-saving feature that conserves power and reduces startup time. Suspend, called Standby in Windows 98, reduces power to system components that are not being used. Suspend can be initiated by you or by the system. When Suspend is initiated, your work is saved in random access memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. When you resume work, your information returns to the screen where you left off. Hibernation Hibernation is an energy-saving feature and safeguard that saves all information in RAM to a hibernation file on the hard drive, then shuts down the computer. Hibernation can be initiated by you or by the system. When you resume work, your information returns to the screen where you left off. Selecting Suspend, Hibernation, or Shutdown If you plan to resume shortly-Initiating Suspend clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the computer on, and your work returns instantly to the screen when you exit Suspend. A fully charged new battery pack can support Suspend for up to 2 weeks. A battery pack that has been frequently charged and discharged will support Suspend for less time. If you plan to resume within two weeks-Initiating Hibernation clears the screen, saves your work to the hard drive, and uses less power than Suspend. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work placed in Suspend, but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the computer. A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation indefinitely. If the computer will be disconnected from external power for more than two weeks-Shutting down the computer and removing the battery pack extends the useful life of the battery pack. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. 4-2 Managing Power
