Turning off the Microsoft Windows workstation To properly turn off the workstation, first shut down the operating system software. In Microsoft Windows XP Professional, click Start > Shut Down. Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button may cause the workstation to enter a low-power or "standby" state instead of automatically turning the power off. This allows you to conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you can start using the workstation immediately without having to restart the operating system and without losing any data. CAUTION: Manually forcing the workstation off will cause the loss of any unsaved data. To force the workstation off manually and bypass the "standby state," press and hold the power button for four seconds. On some models, you can reconfigure the power button to work in On/Off mode by running Computer Setup. Refer to the Service and Technical Reference Guide on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD for more information about using the Computer Setup utility.
