You can use the Side Switch to lock screen orientation or to silence notifications and sound effects on your iPad Mini.

Lock the screen in portrait or landscape orientation: Go to Settings > General > Use the Side Switch to, then tap Lock Rotation.
Mute notifications and other sound effects: Go to Settings > General > Use the Side Switch to, then tap Mute. The Side Switch doesnt mute audio or video playback. Use the volume buttons on the side to silence these sounds.
