64 Getting Started Turning off the computer ❖ 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 from turning off the computer. ❖ Since information is being retrieved from the hard disk rather than from memory, restarting from Hibernation takes a little more time and consumes more main battery power to start up than when restarting from Standby. ❖ 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 68. Standby mode The Standby command places the computer into a powersaving mode. Standby holds 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. Factors to consider when choosing Standby: ❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some main battery power. ❖ The Standby command does not store unsaved information on your hard disk. You should save your work before putting your computer on Standby. ❖ Restarting from Standby takes less time and consumes less main battery power than restarting from turning off the computer or using Hibernation mode.
