Never turn off or reset your notebook
while the hard disk is in use status icon is lit; doing so can result in loss
or destruction of your data. Always wait at least 5 seconds after

from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is commonly

To turn the notebook off, save your work and close all open applications.
Emergency shutdown: Turn off system while pressing power button over
4 seconds in after-POST stage (Power On Self Test).
