This section explains how to turn off the PC.
Point
- Before turning off the power, terminate all jobs and save all necessary data.
- Before turning off the power, confirm that the access indicator lamps (
see Appendix 1,
"Name and Function of Each Component") of the floppy and hard disk drives are off. If the
power is turned off while the access indicator lamps are on, data may be lost or data in the
floppy disk or hard disk may be destroyed.
- If the power cord is unplugged from the outlet or the power is disconnected due to a power
failure while the PC is on, re-connect he power cord or wait until AC power recovers. When
the power recovers, the PC is automatically turned on and started. "Press <F2> to enter
SETUP" may be displayed at this time. In this case, press the [F2] key, check the Setup
items from the menu, and restart the PC.
- If the "Power switch" of the BIOS setup is set to "Standby," pressing the power switch does
not switch off the PC. (
see Section 5, "Power-Saving Menu," in Chapter 4, "BIOS
Setup").
- Do not turn off the PC while the POST is operating. To switch off the PC while the POST is
operating, press the power switch for at least four seconds and confirm that the power lamp
goes off.
- If the power is turned off during the POST operation due to a power failure or some other
reason, the message, [Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup], may be displayed at
rebooting. In this case, press [F2] key, confirm the setup menu, and then reboot.
- If the power lamp is on in orange, repress the power switch for at least four seconds.
