Ready, Set Up, Go

NOTICE: 

Shut down your Mac Pro before moving it. Moving your Mac Pro while the

hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data or the inability to
start up from the hard disk.

Putting Your Mac Pro to Sleep

Mac OS X Lion Server is normally set to prevent your Mac Pro from sleeping because
users can’t connect to services while the computer sleeps. However, if it suits the
services your Mac Pro is providing, you can put your Mac Pro to sleep on demand, or
according to a schedule.

To put your Mac Pro to sleep, do one of the following:

Â

Choose Apple () > Sleep from the menu bar.

Â

Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and set a sleep timer
or set up a sleep/wake schedule.

To wake your Mac Pro:

Â

Press any key on the keyboard. When your Mac Pro wakes from sleep, your
applications, documents, and computer settings are exactly as you left them.
