Tips & Tricks

When you turn off your computer, certain components in
the power supply and system board remain energized. In
order to remove all electrical power from your computer,
unplug the power cord and modem cable from the wall
outlets. We recommend disconnecting the power cord and
modem cable when your computer will not be used for long
periods.

Important

If for some reason you cannot use the Turn Off Computer
option in Windows to turn off your computer, press the
power button on the front of the computer case. If this does
not work, press and hold the power button for about
five seconds, then release it.
