Turning on the Computer
Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press
the power button on the front panel.
When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Standby/Hiber-
nate/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 com-
puter down). Use
Power Options in the Windows control panel to configure
this feature.
Shutdown
Note that you should
always shut your com-
puter down by choos-
ing the
Shut Down/
Turn Off Computer
command from the
Start menu in Win-
dows . 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, press
the power button for 4 seconds, or longer , to force the system to turn itself off.
