Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of the following modes. Shut down
(Boot), Hibernation or Standby.
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.
Make sure the Built-in HDD and Diskette/CD-ROM drive indicators are
off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being accessed, you can
lose data or damage the disk.
3. Click Start and click Shut Down . From the Shut Down menu select
Shut down and click the Yes button.
4. Turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Generally, it is a good idea to use the Windows Shut Down menu
rather than the power button to turn off the computer.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a
moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.
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.
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.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode.
You cannot use hibernation if the Windows 98 Drive Converter converts
the file allocation table to FAT 32 or if you are using Space for Drive C
in any other compression utility.
