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.
