CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started

Turning off your computer
Putting your computer into Sleep mode is the easiest way to
power down your computer. Although it does not turn your
computer completely off, it does turn off or slow down most
system operations to save power, and saves your desktop
layout so the next time you restore power, the programs are
laid out just as you left them. Waking your computer from a
Sleep state is much faster than turning on your computer after
it has been turned completely off.
To put your computer in Sleep (power-saving) mode:
1
Click Start, Shut Down
, then click
Standby
.
2
To “wake” your computer, press a key on the keyboard.
If the computer remains in Sleep mode, press the power
button.
To turn off your computer:
•
Click Start, Shut Down
, then click
Shut Down
again.
Windows shuts down and turns off your computer.
Warning
When you turn off your computer, certain components in the power
supply and system board remain energized. In order to remove all electrical
power from your computer, unplug the power cord and modem cable from the
wall outlets. We recommend disconnecting the power cord and modem cable
when your computer will not be used for long periods.
Important
If for some reason you cannot use the Shut Down option in Windows to
turn off your computer, press and hold the power button for about five seconds,
then release it.
Important
To completely disconnect all power (such as for servicing internal
components), also disconnect the power cord.
