Shutting VIPER down
Before turning off your VIPER for the day, save your
work, close all programs and databases, and shut down its
operating system. You may also want to power down any
peripheral devices you have connected to the VIPER.
TADeuts
TADeuts, which is installed with the other system soft-
ware at the factory, and is also included as a standard
component of the installation process when using the
VIPER Installation CD, is a power management utility
which will automatically close your programs and shut
down the operating system safely.
Shutting down with TADeuts
To shut down the VIPER with TADeuts installed (normal
shutdown):
1. Save your work.
2. Press the power switch.
3. Power down peripherals as needed.
Shutting down without TADeuts
If you do not have TADeuts installed, please see the sec-
tion on “TADeuts and Shutdown” on page 100.
Shutting down when closing the cover
The system can be configured to perform a shutdown
when VIPER’s cover is closed. For more information on
how to configure VIPER in this way, please see the sec-
tion on “System control dialog” on page 99.
