92 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer Powering down the computer When you power down the computer, you have three options to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Hibernate and Standby. Each option has its advantages. TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power down your computer, save your files and make sure the drive-inuse lights are off. If you decide to continue working, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again. Turn Off or Shut down command The Turn Off or Shut down command shuts the computer down completely. ❖ Use the Turn Off command if you are using the Windows® XP Home version operating system, or the Windows® XP Professional operating system when not connected to a domain server. ❖ Use the Shut down command if you are using the Windows® XP Professional operating system and connected to a domain server. When you start up again, the computer runs a self-test and loads the operating system. You must open any programs and files you want to use. Factors when choosing Turn Off or Shut down: ❖ No power is used while the computer is shut down. This is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your computer for an extended time. ❖ Restarting from Turn Off or Shut down uses the most time and battery power.
