Chapter 2. Learning the basics

 Putting your computer into sleep state or shutting it down

When you finish working with your computer, you can put it into sleep state

or shut it down.

Putting your computer into sleep state

If you will be away from your computer for only a short time, put the

computer into sleep state.

When the computer is in sleep state, you can quickly wake it to resume use,

and bypass the startup process.

To put the computer into sleep state, click and select Sleep from the Start

menu.

To wake the computer, do one of the following.

• Press the power button.

• Press any key on the keyboard.

Shutting down your computer

If you are not going to use your computer for a day or two, shut it down.

To shut down your computer, click and select Shut down or Smart

Shutdown from the Start menu.

Note: Wait until the power indicator light starts blinking (indicating that the computer is

in sleep state) before you move your computer. Moving your computer while the

hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data.

Note:

• By selecting Smart Shutdown instead of Shut down or Hibernate, you make your

computer start more quickly next time you turn it on.

• For installed system updates to take effect, do not select Smart Update. Select Shut

down or Restart instead.
