Standby mode
In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices are in sleep mode.
CAUTIONS: 1. Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
2.Do not install or remove a memory module while the com- puter is in standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
3.Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in standby mode (unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in memory will be lost.
4.If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure to shut down the computer in hiberna- tion mode or in shutdown mode to avoid radio signal interference.

❑You can use the panel power off feature.
