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 ( Hardware and Sound ) in the Windows control panel to configure
this feature.
