Benefits of Hibernation
The hibernation feature provides the following benefits:
■Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically shuts down because of a low battery.
For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation feature must be enabled in two places in TOSHIBA Power Management utility: the Power Save Modes tab and the Advanced tab. Otherwise, the computer will shut down in Standby mode. If battery power becomes depleted, data saved in Standby will be lost.
■You can return to your previous working environment immediately when you turn on the computer.
■Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System hibernate feature.
■You can use the panel power off feature.
