With the power button
Before using this step, confirm that Shut down is selected in When I press the
power button on my computer in the Advanced tab of the Power Options Properties
dialog box.
Close the cover to keep the screen and keyboard clean and protected.
If you have not saved a file, a dialog box will appear asking whether you
want to save it.
• Do not turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk indicator or
the optical drive indicator or the indicator on the optional external
floppy disk drive unit is lit. Doing so may damage or even wipe out the

computer. Turning the power off and on in rapid succession will
