3.Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1.Click the Start button, and then move the mouse over the right arrow.

2.Select the desired action from the list.

Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows, or turning it on within 10 seconds of being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive, optical drive, PC Card, and floppy disk indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-3 on page 6). If you power-off while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that the notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shutdown procedure.

Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1.Click the Start button, and then click the arrow at the bottom right.

2.From the dropdown menu, select Shut Down (or Sleep or Hibernate).

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section.
