You can use hot keys Fn + F3 to enter Standby mode and Fn + F4 to enter
Hibernation. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard for details.
Panel power on/off
You can set up your computer so that power turns off automatically when
you close the display panel. When you open the panel, power turns on in
Standby or Hibernation mode but not in boot mode.
At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after
you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer
shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
Refer also to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the power
in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
If the panel power off function is enabled and you use Shut down
Windows, do not close the display until the shut down function is
completed.
