Turning Off The Power; Shut Down Mode; Sleep Mode - Toshiba PSK2CU-00U001 User Manual

Turning off the power

The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down
Mode, Hibernation Mode or Sleep Mode.

Shut Down Mode

When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode no data will be saved and
the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time
it is turned on.
1. If you have entered data, either save it to the hard disk drive or to other
storage media.
2. Make sure all disk/disc activity has stopped before removing the
CD/DVD or floppy diskette.
■
Make sure the Hard Disk Drive/Optical Disc Drive/eSATA indicators
are off. If you turn off the power while a disk (disc) is being accessed,
you may lose data or damage the disk.

cause loss of data.

Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or

3. Click Start.
4. Click the Shut down button (
5. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.

Sleep Mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless
communication functionalities or devices, and cancelling settings that
reactivate the computer automatically, such as a timer recording function.
Failure to completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the
operating system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve
unsaved data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems,
possibly causing serious injury.
