How do I put my iPad to sleep?

I know that I can set the iPad to "auto lock" in the settings but how do I manually set it to go to sleep and darken the screen on demand? Is there a "sleep button" somewhere that i'm missing?

dual 1.25G FW800, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

There is a sleep switch at the top right of the ipad. Just press it once and the iPad will go to sleep.

All of this is covered in the iPad user manual, which is available as a link in Safari, as a book in the iBook Store, or as a PDF from

Thanks for the info and the links to the user manuals. I'd been able to figure most everything else out on the iPad without reading the user manual - guess it's time to go get a copy and learn the rest of the story!
