"Shut down" will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not saved. "Stand by" is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. To operate: select "Start" | "Shut down", and "Stand by". "Hibernate" is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN and modem needs to remain powered. "Hibernate" saves more power compared to "Stand by". To operate: Enable hibernation in "Power Options" and select "Start" | "Shut down", and "Hibernate". 28 Getting Started 3 Restarting or Rebooting After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to restart the system.
