Apple EMac manual What to Do When You Have Finished Using Your eMac, Put Your eMac to Sleep

What to Do When You Have Finished Using Your eMac

When you have finished working with your eMac, you have two options.

Put Your eMac to Sleep

If you will be away from your eMac for less than a few days, put the computer to sleep. When the computer is in sleep, its screen is dark and a small white light pulsates to the right of the optical drive. You can quickly wake it, which takes much less time than the startup process.

To put the computer to sleep quickly, do one of the following:

•Choose Apple (K) > Sleep.

•Press the Power button.

To wake the computer, press any key on the keyboard.

Shut Down Your eMac

If you will not use your eMac for more than a few days, shut it down.

•Choose Apple (K) > Shut Down.

Warning: Shut down your eMac before moving it. Moving your computer while the hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data or the inability to start up from the hard disk.
