Powering down the computer
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Hibernate and
Standby. Each option has its advantages.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power
down your computer, save your files and make sure the drive-in-
use lights are off.
If you decide to continue working, wait a few seconds before
turning the computer on again.
Turn Off or Shut down command
The Turn Off or Shut down command shuts the computer
down completely.
Use the Turn Off command if you are using the
Windows
®
XP Home version operating system, or the
Windows
®
XP Professional operating system when not
connected to a domain server.
Use the Shut down command if you are using the
Windows
®
XP Professional operating system and
connected to a domain server.
When you start up again, the computer runs a self-test and
loads the operating system. You must open any programs and
files you want to use.
Factors when choosing Turn Off or Shut down:
No power is used while the computer is shut down. This
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your
computer for an extended time.
Restarting from Turn Off or Shut down uses the most
time and battery power.
