Shutting down the computer
CAUTION: Unsaved information will be lost when the computer is shut down.
The Shut down command closes all open programs, including the operating system, and then turns
off the display and computer.
Shut down the computer under any of the following conditions:
● When you need to replace the battery or access components inside the computer
● When you are connecting an external hardware device that does not connect to a USB port
● When the computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for an extended
period
To shut down the computer, follow these steps:
NOTE: If the computer is in the Suspend state or in Hibernation, you must first exit Suspend or
Hibernation before shut down is possible.
1. Save your work and close all open programs.
2. Select Computer > Shutdown > Shut Down.
If the computer is unresponsive and you are unable to use the preceding shut down procedures, try
the following emergency procedures in the sequence provided:
● Press ctrl+alt+delete , and then click Shut Down.
● Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.

Setting power options
Using power-saving states
The computer has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Suspend and Hibernation.
When Suspend is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to
memory, letting you exit the Suspend state faster than exiting Hibernation. If the computer is in the
Suspend state for an extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the
Suspend state, the computer initiates Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the hard drive and the
computer turns off.
