Pressing the power button before shutting down the Windows

®

 

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/disc is being accessed, you 
may lose data or damage the disk/disc and/or drive.

It is a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not using it 
for a while.

If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the computer 
plugged into a power source (even though the computer is off) to 
fully charge the battery.

Depending on the operating system installed, you have more than 
one option available for turning off the computer: Turn Off or Shut 
Down, Hibernate, and Standby. Each option has its advantages.

Factors to consider when choosing either Turn Off or Shut Down:

❖

Use the Turn Off command if you are not connected to a 
domain server.

❖

Use the Shut Down command if you are connected to a domain 
server.

❖

If you have work in progress and are not connected to a 
network, use the Windows

®

 Standby or Hibernate commands 

to save your system settings so that, when you turn on the 
computer again, you will automatically return to where you left 
off.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to shut down 
or turn off your computer, save your files and make sure all disk/disc 
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.
