Power-up modes

The computer has three different power-up modes as follows:

■Hibernation Mode : Data in memory will be saved to the hard disk drive.

■Sleep Mode : Data will be maintained in the computer's memory.

Please refer to the sections Turning on the power and Turning off the power in Chapter 1, Getting Started for further information.

Windows utilities

You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).

Hot keys

You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN + F4 to enter Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard for further details.

Panel power on/off

You can set up your computer so that power is turned off automatically when you close the display panel, and turned on again when you open it. Please note that this function is only available for Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode, not for Shut Down Mode.

If the panel power off function is enabled, and you manually shut down Windows, do not close the display panel until the shut down process has been completed.
