Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down
(Boot) Mode, Hibernation Mode or Sleep 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 turned 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.
4. Click the arrow button ( ) located in the power management buttons
( ) and select Shut Down from the menu.
5. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer.
Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep 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 peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
