Turning on the Computer
Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on slide the power switch
on the front panel to the left and release it.
When the computer is on, you can use the power switch as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-key
button when you slide it to the left and release it in less than 4 seconds (sliding and
holding the power switch to the left without releasing it for longer than this will force
the computer to shut down). Use Power Options in the Windows control panel to
configure this feature.
Shutdown
Note that you should al-
ways shut your comput-
er down by choosing the
Turn Off Computer
command from the Start
menu in Windows. This
will help prevent hard
disk or system prob-
lems.
Forced Off
If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, slide and hold
the power button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.
Power Switch as Stand by or Hibernate Button
If you are using a fully ACPI-compliant OS, (such as Windows XP) you can use the OS’s
“Power Options” control panel to set the power switch to send the system into Stand by or
Hibernate mode (see your OS’s documentation, or
“Configuring the Power Button” on
for details).
