Turning on the Computer

Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press the pow-
er button on the front panel.

When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Stand by/Hibernate/
Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and
holding the power button for longer than this will shut the computer 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
Shut Down/Turn Off
Computer
command
from the Start menu in
Windows. This will help
prevent hard disk or sys-
tem problems.

Forced Off

If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the pow-
er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.
