Shutting Down Your Workstation




	CAUTION: The shutdown procedure following this note applies only to HP workstations with the Soft Powerdown feature. To determine if your workstation has this feature, see your Owner's Guide. Using this procedure with any other HP workstation may cause data loss and/or damage to the hard disk drive. To shut down any other HP workstation, follow these steps: If you are using any applications, save your work, then exit the application. Click the up arrow above the Tools control on the HP VUE front panel. A subpanel appears. Click the General icon in the Tools subpanel. The General Toolbox opens. Double-click the "System_Admin" subdirectory. Double-click the "ShutdownSystem" action in the "System_Admin" subdirectory. You must have superuser (`root`) permission to run this action.

You can leave your workstation running at all times without harm. However, you may need to shut it down occasionally, to conserve energy or to attach peripherals. You may turn off just your monitor or the entire computer at the end of each work day.

Ensure that your workstation has the Soft Powerdown feature (see your Owner's Guide).
If you are using any applications, save your work, then exit the application.
Log out, using the procedure in “Logging Out of HP VUE”.
Turn off the power button on your workstation.
You will see this message:
Shutting down machine, please wait.
Your workstation then runs a program to shut itself down gracefully, without data loss.
When the LED near the power button goes off, the shutdown sequence is finished. You can safely turn off the power switch on the monitor and any peripherals.
