Hard drives spin up when you power on your computer and stop spinning when the computer is shut down. This process could eventually reduce the life of your computer or some of its components, especially if the computer is cycled on and off repeatedly during the day. Though leaving the system on maintains a constant temperature, mechanical components such as your hard drive, which is always spinning when the computer is on, will have a shorter life. Generally, the wear incurred by your hard drive from being left on is less than the wear incurred by your computer from starting and stopping. Consider the following environments when deciding whether to leave your computer on or off: -19 • • - This alternative is best if you use the computer infrequently, especially where the periods of use are short. • Leaving the system on and only powering off at the end of the day - If you use your computer many times a day or for long periods, it is probably better to leave it on. Applications such as voicemail and fax may require that the system be constantly on. Most office computers fall into this category. Some tips: o If your computer is not required to run applications such as fax or voicemail software after hours, you should shut down at the end of the day to conserve energy. o Enable the power management settings of your system and monitor to save energy and to save your monitor screen. Power management settings can be accessed through the Windows Control Panel. Enabling power management and leaving your system on constantly might be your best alternative. Many computers also support spinning down the hard drives to save wear and energy. o Make sure you use a screen saver or turn the monitor off. This prevents the possibility of “burning” any screen images on the phosphor coating of the tube, which could result in permanent shadows on the display. • Never powering the system off - This approach is necessary for computers supporting 24-hour access to voicemail or fax, or for network servers. However, systems should be reset at least once a week using the appropriate Restart Procedure, above, to reload a clean operating system, close open files that are not needed, and recover any memory held by processes that are no longer in use. You may want to research the impact, if any, that enabling your computer's power management features has on your computer's required functionality. The monitor may be turned off when not in use. NOTE If you leave your computer on all the time, you may wish to purchase one of the many types of auxiliary cooling fans that fit inside your computer's case. Please contact your CTL Dealer or Representative if you need to purchase additional fans. General Controls and Indicators This section describes your system’s controls and indicators. Note that some of these may not appear on your computer case. Power Button and Indicator Light The Power button turns the system on and off.
