These are instructions on how to put your iPhone into Recovery Mode. You may need to use recovery mode if you're having trouble restoring your iPhone using iTunes.

UPDATE:
Apple has introduced a new method to entering Recovery Mode. You can find instructions and a video demonstrating the new method here.

Step One
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the power slider to the right, to turn off your iPhone.
