Never turn off or reset your
Notebook while the hard disk is in use and the CD-ROM status
icon is lit; doing so can result in loss or destruction of your
data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after turning off your
Notebook before turning it back on; turning the power on and
off in rapid succession can damage the Notebook’s electrical
circuitry.
