Icon Description

Standby

Puts the system into Standby mode, a power management state that saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system remains on. To return the system to the active state, press any key or the power button on your computer.

Hibernate

Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The system writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk and turns off the system power. To return the system to the original state, use the power button to turn on power. The system saves the data in the Save to Disk Partition on the hard drive.

Conserving battery power

When using the computer with a battery, the LCD display and the hard drive can be set to switch off automatically to conserve battery power.

See “Power Management profiles” for more information.
