Press the ON/OFF switch again.

Press and hold the power button for at least four seconds until the device switches off.
Out of system resources
If you have too many applications running at once, you may experience problems due to a lack of
system resources. If this happens, you should close applications you do not require or call the
applications in a different order.
BIOS settings in power management do not become active
The Auto insert notification setting may be active for the CD-ROM drive. This setting causes
Windows 9x to inquire about any modifications on the drive at regular intervals. Because of this the
timer for the idle time cannot time out.
To activate power management, proceed as follows:
Ê
In Windows 9x, select Start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - CD-ROM.
Ê
Select the installed CD-ROM drive from the list.
Ê
Select Settings.
Ê
Deactivate the Auto insert notification box.
CD-ROM drive
Information on the CD-ROM drive can be found in the CD-ROM drive manual, or on the "Drivers &
Utilities" CD.
Other manuals
Other manuals, e.g. the "BIOS Setup" manual, are contained on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD.
