Troubleshooting Your Personal Workstation
If You Cannot Turn Off Your Personal Workstation
If You Cannot Turn Off Your Personal
Workstation
Use this section if you cannot turn off your Personal Workstation, the
power indication light is red, and you hear a “buzzing” sound.
Check if your Personal Workstation is locked, whereby “power-off” is
not allowed. You will need to enter a password to unlock the
PC Workstation (see the section “Setting Your Password” in the
chapter “Using Your Personal Workstation” for more information).
Check if you are in a standby mode, in which case a “power-off” would
risk a loss of information/data (refer to the Power Menu in the HP
Setup program).
CAUTION If you press the On/Off button for four seconds, the system will be
automatically turned off. Note that this does not shut down the operating
system properly.
