74 Getting Started Turning off the computer TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the Shut Down option to turn off your computer, save your files and make sure the disk activity lights are off. If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again. ❖ Use the Sleep command to save your work, system settings, and current state of the desktop to memory, so that when you turn on the computer again, you will quickly and automatically return to where you left off. Hibernation mode Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved information, system settings are retained indefinitely. Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation: ❖ While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no main battery power. ❖ Because the state of the system is stored on the hard disk, no data is lost if the main battery discharges. ❖ Restarting from Hibernation takes less time and consumes less main battery power than restarting after turning off the computer using the Shut down command. ❖ Restarting from Hibernation takes a little more time and consumes more main battery power than restarting from Sleep. ❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the state in which you left it, including all open programs and files you were using. For information on how to use and configure Hibernation mode see "Using and configuring Hibernation mode" on page 78. Sleep mode The Sleep command places the computer into a power-saving mode. Sleep saves the current state of the computer in system memory (RAM) so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from where you left off.
