Heuristic Power Management

Hibernation Mode

In Hibernation mode, all power shuts off (the computer does not consume any power). The computer saves all system information onto the hard disk before it enters Hibernation mode. Once you turn on the power, the computer restores this information and resumes where you left off upon leaving Hibernation mode.

There are two necessary conditions for the computer to enter Hibernation mode:

The Hibernation file created by PhDISK must be present and valid. See “PhDISK” on page 73.

Heuristic Power Management must be set to [ENABLED].

In this situation, there are four ways to enter Hibernation mode:

Pressing the Hibernation hot key Fn-F4

If the waiting time determined by the computer’s HPM unit elapses without any system activity

If a battery low condition occurs and the Battery Low Suspend parameter in Setup is set to [ENABLED].

Invoked by the operating system power saving modes

Note: If the computer beeps but does not enter Hibernation mode after pressing the Hibernation hot key, it means the operating system will not allow the computer to enter the power-saving mode.
