System Introduction 1-33
A necessary condition for the notebook to enter hibernation mode is that the reserved space for saving
system information on the hard disk must be larger than the combined system and video memory size.
Under such conditions, the standby/hibernation hotkey acts as the hibernation hotkey. See the user’s
manual for information on the Sleep Manager utility.
In this situation, there are four ways to enter hibernation mode:
Press the standby/hibernation hotkey Fn-F7 ( )
Set a value for the System Standby/Hibernation Timer in Setup. If the waiting time specified by this
time elapses without any system activity, the system goes into hibernation mode
Enable the Suspend upon Battery-low parameter in Setup. If a battery-low condition takes place, the
notebook enters hibernation mode in about five minutes.
