Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure
all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing)
and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
CAUTION: Do not pick up the computer by its display panel
or by the back (where the ports are located).
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand reasonable
shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case for long trips.
You can purchase a carrying case from your Toshiba dealer,
through the accessories information packaged with your system,
or visit
www.toshibaaccessories.com.
Power down options
The usual method of powering down your computer is the Shut
down command described in “Shutting down the computer” on
page 55.
With your Tecra
®
9000 Series computer, you have the opportunity
to temporarily suspend the operation of your system without
having to shutdown Windows. When you suspend the computer, it
takes a “snapshot” of the current state of your programs and data
and saves it. When you resume working on your computer, the
information is recalled, returning the computer to its previous
state. You may suspend your computer in one of the following
ways:
❖ Click Start, then Shut Down, and then Hibernate.
