Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of the following modes: Shut down
(Boot), Hibernation or Standby mode.
Shut Down mode (Boot mode)
When you turn off the power in Shut Down mode no data is saved and the
computer will boot to the operating system's main screen.
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 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 feature does not save the
status of peripheral devices.
Make sure the Built-in HDD and optical media drive 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 HDD. Data will be lost if you remove the battery or
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
Built-in HDD indicator to go out.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
