86 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer Powering down the computer NOTE Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows® operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the system indicator panel's disk light and the drive-inuse light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive. When you power down the computer, you have three options to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Standby and Hibernation. TECHNICAL NOTES: Before using any of these options to power down your computer, save your files and make sure the diskette drive and optical drive lights are off. If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again. Turn Off or Shut down command The Turn Off or Shut down commands power off the computer. The Windows® XP Professional operating system uses the Turn Off command if you are not connected to a Windows® domain server. The Windows® XP Professional operating system uses the Shut down command if you are a member of a domain. Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off or Shut down: ❖ 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 or Shut down uses the most time and battery power.
