Turning the power off

Before turning off the computer, run through the following checklist:

♦Quit or exit from the applications you are running; be sure to save any files you have altered. Any unsaved information still held in the computer’s memory will be lost when you turn off the computer.

♦If you are logged-in to a network, logout before turning off the computer. This gives the network operating system a chance to free up the network resources you’ve been using.

♦Close down or quit any software that employs virtual memory or disk-caching (Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups do this automatically).

♦Always turn off any attached peripherals first. However, there’s no need to turn off the monitor if it’s being powered from the system unit.

♦Wait until all the activity indicators on the front bezel are unlit.

To turn off the computer, simply press the POWER button again. The power indicator on the button goes out. If the monitor is powered from the system unit, it will be turned off at the same time.

After you turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it on again. The computer may not initialize itself properly if you turn it off then on again in quick succession.
