Stopping Your PC

To stop the PC, make sure that you have exited all programs and the
operating system (if necessary), and then press the power button on
the control panel.
With some operating systems the PC will automatically switch off when
you shut down the operating system.
If there is a problem during the shutdown procedure and the software
hangs, then, after one minute press the on/off button for four seconds.
This turns off the power but may result in data being lost. You should
only use this method of turning off the PC when the normal shutdown
procedure does not work.
Refer to the operating system manual for details on how to shut down
or exit the operating system.
