Using Automatic Shutdown

The Automatic Shutdown Utility contains more options for shutting down the system than the

operating system’s shutdown function.  You can use this utility to shut down the operating system

and power down the system in a number of ways.

To run Automatic Shutdown:

♦

Double-click the Automatic Shutdown icon in the operating system’s taskbar tray, or

♦

From the operating system Start menu, go to Automatic Shutdown Utility on the Automatic

Shutdown Utility menu.

♦

While the system is running, press the Power button momentarily (less than 1 second).

By default, Automatic Shutdown is set for a 10-second delay.  You can use the slider under Time

Remaining to set a delay of up to 30 seconds.  Always set a delay greater than 5 seconds to ensure

that you have time to stop system shutdown if needed.

When you run Automatic Shutdown, the Automatic System Shutdown dialog displays.  To

configure Automatic Shutdown, choose an option in the dialog and click Apply.  When you are

finished configuring the utility, click Start Shutdown.  After you start the system again, the utility

will use the settings you selected.
