SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPUTER MINIMIZES POWER DRAIN ON THE BATTERY,BUT TAKES A RELATIVELY LONG TIME TO RESTART THE COMPUTER FROM A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN

1.

Correct Answers: B

A. Incorrect:

Shutting down the computer minimizes power drain on the battery,

but takes a relatively long time to restart the computer from a complete shutdown.

B. Correct:

Hibernation must be enabled from the Hibernate tab in the Power

Options program located in Control Panel first, and then you can create a custom

power scheme that will automatically hibernate the computer after a period of

inactivity that you specify. As an alternative, you could have your computer auto-

matically go into Standby mode. However, Standby mode places a very slight

drain on the battery, whereas hibernation uses no batteries.

C. Incorrect:

Until you enable hibernation, custom power schemes allow you to

specify only when the monitor and hard disks will be turned off and when the sys-

tem will go to Standby mode. Even when the system is in Standby mode with the

disks and monitor powered-down, it continues to draw on the battery for power.

In this state, the battery eventually runs out of power and it is possible to lose

important data.

D. Incorrect:

This power scheme greatly reduces drain on the battery because the

hard disks and monitor are turned off and the computer is left in Standby mode

when unattended for just a few minutes. Nevertheless, when the system is in

Standby mode with the disks and monitor powered down, it continues to draw on

the battery for power. In this state, the battery eventually runs out of power, and

it is possible for you to lose important data.
