Power-up modes

The computer has three power-up modes:

■Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)

■Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU and all other devices effectively enter a ‘sleep’ mode)

Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
