Shutdown through Hibernate
If available with your operating system, it is better to use the hibernation feature (available from
Microsoft ® Windows ® 2000 and later versions) because there are a number of advantages. When the
computer is shutting down, all work in progress and system information are automatically saved to the
disk. The computer itself is also de-energized. When mains power returns, all the applications re-open
exactly as they were and the user placed back in their work environment.
The Hibernate function must first have been activated in the operating system in the power options on
the Windows control panel Hibernate tab.
NOTE:
If you select hibernate, but your computer does not have this function, the Dell MUMC will still protect the system
by carrying out the normal (default) shutdown action.
