After you turn off the computer, and the content of memory has been saved
to the internal storage, turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.

System Recovery

There is a recovery image on the internal storage for the System Recovery
Options in the event of a problem.
The following items are described in this section:
If you choose TOSHIBA Maintenance Utility to erase the internal storage,
all data including the operating system and recovery image will be deleted.
In that case, you cannot create recovery media or restore the pre-installed
software from the recovery image. Make sure that you have already
created recovery media before you start TOSHIBA Maintenance Utility.
This recovery media can be used to restore your system after you have
erased your internal storage.
