operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make 
sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being 
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.

When you power down the computer, you have three options 
to choose from: Turn Off Computer, Standby, and 
Hibernation.

TECHNICAL NOTES: Before using any of these options to 
power down your computer, save your files and make sure the 
disk activity lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after 
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.

 domain server. The Windows

 Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off or Shut down:

❖

No power is used while the computer is turned off. This 
is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your 
computer for an extended time.

Restarting from Turn Off or Shut down uses the most 
time and battery power.
