Turning on your computer for the first time

In order to start up, your computer must have special software
(called system software) installed on the hard disk. Your computer
may have this software already installed.

To see if your hard disk already has system software installed,
follow these

two steps to turn on your computer.

1. Press the top of the main power switch at the back

of the computer. The top of the switch is marked with
an “

i”.

This switch provides power to your computer, but doesn’t
turn it on.

2. Press the Power key (marked with the

P icon) on the

keyboard to turn on your computer.

Now your computer is on.

What you see after you turn on your computer depends on
whether system software has already been installed on your hard
disk.
