6 Managing power

Your computer can operate on either battery power or external power. When the computer is running

on battery power only and an AC power source is not available to charge the battery, it is important to

monitor and conserve the battery charge. Your computer supports an optimal power plan to manage

how your computer uses and conserves power so that computer performance is balanced with power

conservation.

Initiating Sleep and Hibernation

Microsoft® Windows has two power-saving states, Sleep and Hibernation.

●

Sleep—The Sleep state is automatically initiated after a period of inactivity when running on

battery power or on external power. Your work is saved to memory, allowing you to resume your

work very quickly. You can also initiate Sleep manually. For more information, see

Manually

initiating and exiting Sleep on page 47.

● Hibernation—The Hibernation state is automatically initiated if the battery reaches a critical level.

In the Hibernation state, your work is saved to a hibernation file and the computer powers down.

NOTE: You can manually initiate Hibernation. See Manually initiating and exiting Sleep

on page 47 and Manually initiating and exiting Hibernation (select models only) on page 47.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video

playback functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep while reading from or writing to a

disc or an external media card.

NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions

while the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.

Intel Rapid Start Technology (select models only)

For select models, the Intel Rapid Start Technology (RST) feature is enabled by default. Rapid Start

Technology allows your computer to resume quickly from inactivity.

Rapid Start Technology manages your power-saving options as follows:

●

Sleep—Rapid Start Technology allows you to select the Sleep state. To exit from Sleep, press

any key, activate the TouchPad, or briefly press the power button.

●

Hibernation—Rapid Start Technology initiates Hibernation after a period of computer inactivity

while the computer is in the Sleep state or when the battery reaches a critical level. After

Hibernation is initiated, press the power button to resume your work.

NOTE: Rapid Start Technology can be disabled in Setup Utility (BIOS). If you want to be able to

initiate Hibernation yourself, you must enable user-initiated Hibernation using Power Options. See

Manually initiating and exiting Hibernation (select models only) on page 47.
