Sample connecting an optional external USB diskette drive
Turning off the computer
Pressing the power button before shutting down the
Windows
® operating system could cause you to lose your
work. Make sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the
drive-in-use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk
is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/
or drive.
It is a good idea to turn 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.
Options for turning off the computer
Depending on the operating system installed, you have up to
four options when you turn off the computer: Turn Off or
Shut Down, Hibernate, and Standby. Each option has its
advantages.
