Setting Other Power Preferences
You can change the function of the power/standby button, the
fn+f5 hotkey, and the display switch.
At the default settings for the
fn+f5 hotkey, power/standby button,
and display switch, when the notebook is on:
■ Briefly pressing the power/standby button initiates
hibernation.
■ Pressing the fn+f5 hotkey, called the sleep button in a
Windows operating system, initiates standby.
■ Closing the notebook presses the display switch, which turns
off the display.
