90 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer Powering down the computer When you power down the computer, you have a number of options to choose from: ❖ Turn Off or Shut down, which power off the computer ❖ Hibernation, which saves the current operating state to the hard disk and powers off the computer ❖ Standby, which saves the current operating state to memory and enters a low power mode ❖ Restart, which restarts the computer 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 disk activity 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 Tablet PC Edition operating system uses Turn Off if you are not connected to a Windows® network server (domain server). It uses Shut down if you are connected to a Windows® network server (domain server). 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.
