RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.

P O I N T
Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting
Windows or turning on your notebook within 10
seconds of the notebook being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.
C A U T I O N
Never turn your LifeBook notebook off while an
application is running. Be sure to close all files, exit all
applications, and shut down your operating system
prior to turning off the power with the power switch. If
files are open when you turn the power off, you will
lose any changes that have not been saved, and may
cause disk errors.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows 2000
Professional Start menu, check that the Hard Drive,
DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the Floppy Disk
Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-9 on
page 14) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk
or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To assure that your
LifeBook notebook shuts down without error, use the
Windows shut down procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from
Windows allows your LifeBook notebook to complete its
operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to
avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shutdown your LifeBook notebook.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
