Pressing and holding the power switch for several seconds forces a shutdown.
Note: Always turn the computer off prior to removing power cables.
The Thor VX9 is designed for a controlled shutdown when using the power button. A controlled shutdown first closes any
open programs, and then shuts down the Windows operating system. DO NOT remove power from the Thor VX9 without
shutting down the Thor VX9.
The Thor VX9 shutdown may be initiated in any of the following ways:
•
Selecting the
Shut Down
option from the Windows Start Menu.
•
Selecting the
Shut Down
option from the Windows Task Manager. The Windows Task Manager is displayed by pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Del.
•
Momentarily pressing and releasing the power button. The Thor VX9 behavior when the power button is pressed can be
configured in the Windows Control Panel.
•
Pressing and holding the power button for approximately five seconds. Any open programs and the Windows operating
system are shut down before power off. Note that this option must be used to shut down when the operating system is
not responding.
•
The VMT Manager can be configured so that an extended touch on the touch screen initiates the shut down process.
For more information on the Windows shutdown process, please refer to Help and Support on the Windows Start menu or
commercially available Windows guides.
