Enabling Hibernation
If you have disabled Hibernation, you can enable it again through
the Hibernation tab in Power Properties (click Start
Æ
Control
Panel

double-click Power
Æ
Power Properties). When you
enable Hibernation this way, the system uses a certain amount of
hard disk space necessary for Hibernation to take place.
Initiating Hibernation
Hibernation can be initiated by you or by the system.
When Hibernation occurs, the system:
■
clears the screen.
■
saves all current information in memory to the hard disk.
■
turns off the computer.
In Windows 95 or later, you can initiate Hibernation by pressing
Fn+Suspend
button at any time and from within any application.
System-initiated Hibernation takes place under the following
conditions:
■
when the computer is on and unattended, and a critical low
battery condition occurs.
■
when the computer is in Suspend, and a critical low battery
condition occurs.
Exiting Hibernation
To exit Hibernation and resume work:
1. Install a fully charged battery pack or connect to an external
power source.
2. Turn on the computer by sliding the power switch.
The computer exits Hibernation. The information that was saved
to the hard disk returns to the screen at the point where
Hibernation was initiated.
NOTE:
You may stop the restoration of information by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete
