Power Hibernation Ä CAUTION: If the configuration of the notebook is changed during hibernation, resuming from hibernation may not be possible. When the notebook is in hibernation: ■ Do not dock the notebook or undock the notebook from a docking device. ■ Do not add or remove memory modules. ■ Do not insert or remove any hard drives or optical drives. ■ Do not connect or disconnect external devices. ■ Do not insert or remove a PC Card or a Digital Media Slot card. Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard drive, and then shuts down the notebook. When you restore from hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off. If a power-on password has been set, the password must be entered to restore from hibernation. You can disable hibernation. However, if hibernation is disabled and the system reaches a low-battery condition, the system will not automatically save your work while power is on or when standby has been initiated. In the Power Options window, hibernation is not displayed as an option if it has been disabled. You must enable hibernation in order to select it in the Power Options window. Use Power Options in Microsoft Windows Control Panel to reenable hibernation: » Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. Make sure that the Enable hibernation check box is selected. To set the time interval after which the system initiates hibernation: 1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options. 2. Click one of the intervals in the System hibernates list. 2-6 Hardware and Software Guide
