Apple 6400 appendix Turning the computer on, If you can’t shut down your computer

If you can’t shut down your computer

If a problem with the computer prevents you from using the Power key on the keyboard or choosing Shut Down—for example, if the computer “freezes” so that the pointer does not respond to the mouse—you can turn off the computer by pressing the standby power button (®) on the back of

the computer.

IMPORTANT You could lose unsaved work if you use the standby power button on the back of the computer to turn it off. Only use the standby power button when there is a problem that prevents the computer from being turned off with the Power key on the keyboard or the Shut Down command. To make sure your work is saved, use the Power key on the keyboard or the Shut Down command.

Turning the computer on

To turn on the computer after you’ve shut it down (using either the Power key on the keyboard or the Shut Down command):

mPress the Power key (marked with a π) on the keyboard.

Note: Your monitor may have to be turned on separately each time you turn on the computer. If you have trouble turning on your computer, see the section “Problems Turning On Your Computer?” earlier in this chapter.
