Hibernation is an energy-saving feature that saves all information in memory to a Hibernation file on the hard drive, then shuts down the computer. You do not need to close applications or save your work before initiating Hibernation; when the computer exits Hibernation, your work returns to the screen as it was when Hibernation was initiated. Hibernation can be initiated when the computer is running on battery or external power and is not docked. Hibernation is not available while the computer is docked in an optional ArmadaStation or Armada MiniStation. NOTE: If you try to exit Hibernation when the battery pack is too low to complete restoration of your work, press Fn+Ctrl+Break to stop the restoration, then insert a fully charged battery pack or connect the computer to external power. The restoration resumes when power is provided. For information on system-initiated Hibernation and on customizing your system's use of Hibernation, refer to "Hibernation Tab" in the "Using Power Properties" section of this chapter.
