Windows 2000 Hibernate

Use the Hibernate window to enable hibernate support, see the amount of free disk space, and the amount of disk space required to hibernate. When your system hibernates it performs a save-to-disk or save-to-file (STF). Your current working environment is saved to the hard disk. Use the Power button to resume from hibernation and your system returns to its previous state.

Windows 98/2000 Power Management States

ACPI uses different levels or states of power management. The power management states occur automatically, based on the system’s default settings, or manually, when invoked. Settings are configurable to occur while on battery power or AC power.

The Windows 98/2000 ACPI power management states include:

!LCD timeout — manages power at the lowest level by shutting down the LCD.

!Standby — also known as Save-to-RAM (STR), Standby manages power by saving your current working environment to memory and shutting down most system devices. Conserves more power than an LCD timeout.

!Hibernate — also known as save-to-disk, or save-to-file (STF) manages power by saving the current working environment to an area on your hard disk, then powering off your system. Conserves the most battery power.
