Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of the following modes: Shutdown
Mode (also known as Boot Mode), Hibernation Mode or Standby Mode.
Shutdown Mode (Boot Mode)
When you turn off the power in Shutdown Mode no data is saved and the
computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time it is
switched on.
1. If you have entered data, save it to the hard disk or to a diskette.
2. Make sure all disk activity has stopped, then remove the CD/DVD-ROM
or diskette.
3. Click start and click Turn Off Computer. From the Turn Off Computer
window click Turn Off.
4. Turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the hard
disk when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned
on, the previous state is restored. The Hibernation Mode feature does not
save the status of peripheral devices.
Make sure the hard disk drive and optical media drive indicators at the
front of the computer are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being
accessed, you can lose data or damage the disk.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
1. While entering Hibernation Mode, the computer saves the contents of
memory to the hard disk drive. Data will be lost if you remove the
battery or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save has been
completed - wait for the hard disk drive indicator to go out.
2. Do not install or remove any memory modules while the computer is in
Hibernation Mode as data will be lost.
