Turning on the Computer
Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on press the power but-
ton and release it.
When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-
key button when you press and release it in less than 4 seconds (pressing the power
button 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 on an attached keyboard
doesn’t work, press 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 button is pressed and released in less
than 4 seconds. You may configure the options for the power button from the Power Op-
tions (Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OS’s doc-
umentation, or
“Configuring the Power Buttons” on page 3 - 8 for details).
