Putting your computer into sleep state or shutting it down

When you finish working with your computer, you can put it into sleep state or shut it down.

Putting your computer into sleep state

If you will be away from your computer for only a short time, put the computer into sleep state. When the computer is in sleep state, you can quickly wake it to resume use, and bypass the startup process.

To put the computer into sleep state, do one of the following.

•Click and select Sleep from the Start menu.

•Press Fn + F1.

Note: Wait until the power indicator light starts blinking (indicating that the computer is in sleep state) before you move your computer. Moving your computer while the hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data.

To wake the computer, do one of the following.

•Press the power button.

•Press any key on the keyboard.

Shutting down your computer

If you are not going to use your computer for a day or two, shut it down.
