Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down

When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode no data will be saved and
the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time
it is turned on.

storage media.
2. Make sure all disk/disc activity has stopped before removing the
disk/disc.

Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
When it is displayed, be sure to read the Software License Terms
carefully.

Make sure the Hard Disk Drive/Optical Disc Drive/eSATA indicator is
off. If you turn off the power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you
may lose data or damage the disk.

Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.

a short period to avoid any potential damage.
