7 Turning Off the Power
This section explains how to turn off the power.
■ Notes on power-off
● Before turning off the power, terminate all work and save data.
● Before turning off the power, confirm that the floppy disk and the hard disk access lamps 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.
● 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.
