Turning Off the Computer

Whenever you turn off your system, follow these steps:

1. Save your data and exit any application program you are

using.

2. Check the hard disk drive light and the diskette drive light(s)

to make sure they are not on. Do not turn off the computer

lose data.

4. Press the power button to turn off the computer and then

turn off any peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.).
