The computer connects with the network. Powering down the computer When you power down the computer, you have three options to choose from: Turn Off, Hibernation, and Stand By. Each option has its advantages. Turn Off command The Turn Off command shuts the computer down completely. 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 to consider when choosing Turn Off: ❖ No power is used while the computer is turned off. This is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your computer for an extended time. ❖ Restarting from Turn Off uses the most time and battery power. ❖ When starting up again, the system does not automatically open programs and files you were previously using. Hibernation command Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved information, the system settings are retained
