7 Turning Off the Power Supply
Cautions
• Before turning off the power, terminate all work and save data.
• Before turning off the power, confirm that the Floppy disk drive access lamp and the Hard disk drive
access lamp are off. If the power is turned off while the lamps are on, data being processed may not
be saved or data on the floppy disk or hard disk may be damaged.
• If the power cable is pulled out from the outlet while the power is on or if power is interrupted by a
power failure, connect the power cable to the outlet again or wait until the power is restored. You do
not have to press the power switch. Once the power is restored, the PC automatically turns on and
starts up. However, when [Power-saving settings] - [Action at AC power restoration] of BIOS Setup
is set to [Power off], the system does not turn on.
• On Windows 95 models, when [Power saving by APM] of BIOS Setup is set to [Disabled], they do
not turn off automatically.
• Do not turn off the system during POST (power-on self-test). After the OS starts up, turn off the
system in the following procedure.
• If the system does not shut down or restart in the normal procedure, press the power switch for four
or more seconds until the power is turned off. However, use this procedure in an emergency only,
because this may damage the hard disk.
