Hibernation mode
The hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned on, the previous state is restored. The hibernation feature does not save the status of peripheral devices.
■While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the contents of memory to the HDD. Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the Disk indicator to go out.
■Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
