HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:
1.From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select Power Options.
2.Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.
1.Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the right arrow.
2.Select the desired action from the list.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with- out exiting Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 seconds of the note- book being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/ optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error,
use the Windows shut down procedure.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica- tions, and shut down your operating sys- tem prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
G e t t i n g S t a r t e d
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
1.Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the right arrow.
2.Select the desired action from the list.
