®
XP Startup Screen Logo.
Follow the on-screen directions.
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.

DVDs or diskette.
3. If you are using Windows ® XP, click start then click Turn off computer.
From the Turn off computer menu select Turn off.

Hibernation mode
The Hiibernation Mode 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 Disk’s indicator is off. If you turn off the power while a
disk(disc) is being accessed, you can lose data or damage the disk(disc).
Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
■ While entering hibernation mode, the computer saves the contents of
memory to the hard disk drive. However for safety sake, it is best to
save your data manually.
■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor
before the save is completed. Wait for the Disk indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
