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 (Hardware and Sound
menu) control panel in Windows Vista to configure this feature.
Shut Down
Note that you should al-
ways shut your comput-
er down by choosing the
Shut Down command
from the Lock Button
Menu in Windows Vis-
ta. This will help prevent
hard disk or system
problems.
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 Button Sleep
Sleep is the default power mode when the power switch is slid to the left and released in
less than 4 seconds. You may configure the options for the power button from the Power
Options (Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OS’s
documentation, or
“Configuring the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 8 for details).
