Getting Started
Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down
(Boot) Mode, Hibernation Mode or Standby Mode.
Shut Down mode (Boot Mode)
When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode no data will be saved and
the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time
it is switched on.
1. If you have entered data, either save it to the hard disk drive or to other
storage media.
2. Make sure all disk/disc activity has stopped before removing the
CD/DVD or floppy diskette.
3. Click start then click Turn Off Computer and from the Turn Off
Computer menu select Turn Off.
4. Turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Standby Mode
If you do have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power
without exiting from your software by placing the computer into Standby
Mode. In this mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so
that, when you turn on the power again, you can continue working right
where you left off.
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the power
while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you can lose data or damage the
disk.
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data
loss.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
