Power
Standby and Hibernation
Standby
Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use. When standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and the power/standby lights blink. Saving your work before initiating standby is not usually necessary but is a recommended precaution. When you resume from standby, your work is returned instantly to the screen.
By default, the system initiates standby after 10 minutes of notebook inactivity when the notebook is running on battery power and after 25 minutes of inactivity when the notebook is running on external power. For information about changing these settings, refer to “Setting or Changing a Power Scheme,” later in this chapter.
