Conserving Power: Dell Inspiron 4100
To exit hibernate mode, press the power button. The computer may take a short time
to exit hibernate mode. Pressing a key or touching the touch pad or track stick does
not bring the computer out of hibernate mode.
Hibernate mode requires a special file on your hard drive with enough disk space to
store the contents of the computer memory. Dell creates an appropriately sized
hibernate mode file before shipping the computer to you.
