82 Getting Started Powering off the computer ❖ To leave the computer off for a longer period, power down the computer. The Windows® XP Professional operating system uses the Shut down command to power down the computer if you are connected to a Windows® network server (domain server) or the Turn Off command if you are not. ❖ When the hard disk drive light on the system indicator panel is on, do not turn off the power. Doing so may damage your hard disk. For more information, see "Powering off the computer" on page 81. Never turn off the computer while any drive is in use. Doing so may damage the media in use and result in loss of data. Closing the display panel When you are finished using the computer, power off and close the display panel to keep dust and dirt out of the computer. If you close the display panel while the computer is still on, one of these actions will occur: ❖ If you have the audible warning set, the computer will beep to notify you that it is still on. (See "TOSHIBA Hardware Setup" on page 172.) ❖ If you have an action feature set, the computer will perform that action (Nothing, Standby, Hibernate). For more information, see "TOSHIBA Power Saver" on page 170.
