Turning off the power
When you have finished work, follow the steps below to turn off the power
to your computer.
1.
If you have entered data, save it to the hard disk or to a diskette.
2.
Make sure all disk activity has stopped, then remove any CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM or diskette.
Make sure the
Built-in HDD
and
Diskette/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
indicators are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being accessed,
you can lose data or damage the disk.
3.
If you are using Windows 95, click
Start
then click
Shut Down
or
Suspend

If you are using Windows 98, click
Start
and click
Shut Down
. From
the
Shut Down
menu select
Shut Down
or
Standby
.
