Powering down the computer

NOTE
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off Computer, Standby, and
Hibernation.
Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make
sure the system indicator panel's disk light and the drive-in
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power
down your computer, save your files and make sure the disk
activity lights are off.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working after
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.
