Sleep is the same as Suspend-to- RAM (STR).This function stores your current data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM
is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. Click the Windows button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon
to see this option.You can also use the keyboard shortcut [Fn F1] to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key except [Fn]. (NOTE:The power indicator will blink in this mode.)
Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered. Hibernate saves more power compared to Sleep. Click the Windows button and the arrowhead next to the lock icon to see this option. Recover by pressing the power button. (NOTE:The power indicator will be OFF in this mode.)
