Powering off the computer
It’s a good idea to power off your computer when you are not
using it for a while.
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the
computer plugged into a power source (even though the
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the
computer off, it may take up to six hours to charge the main
battery.
Guidelines for powering off the computer:
❖
If you have work in progress and aren’t connected to a
network, use the Hibernate command to save your system
settings to the hard disk so that, when you turn on the
computer again, you automatically return to where you
left off.
❖
To leave the computer off for a longer period, power
down the computer. The Windows
®
XP Professional
operating system uses the Shut down command to power
down the computer if you are connected to a Windows
®
network server (domain server) or the Turn Off command
if you are not.
❖
When the hard disk drive light on the system indicator
panel is on, don’t turn off the power. Doing so may
damage your hard disk.
