Step 7: Turn Off the Computer
To properly turn off the computer, first shut down the operating
system software. In Microsoft Windows XP Professional, click
Start > Shut Down. In Microsoft Windows XP Home, click
Start > Turn Off Computer. The computer automatically shuts
down.
Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button
causes the computer to enter a low-power or “standby” state
instead of automatically turning the power off. This allows you to
conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you
can start using the computer immediately without having to
restart the operating system and without losing any data.
To force the computer off manually and bypass the “standby”
state, press and hold the power button for four seconds.
Ä
CAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off will cause the loss of any
unsaved data.
On some models, you can use the Computer Setup utility to
reconfigure the power button to work in on/off mode instead of
standby mode. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide
on the Documentation CD for more information about using
Computer Setup.
