Starting Your Notebook PC

2-2-1 POWER ON

Suspend/Resume/Power On Button

The suspend/resume/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from its off
state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion
battery, you can power on your notebook.

When you turn on your notebook be sure you have a power
source. This means that at least one battery is installed and
charged, or that the AC adapter is connected with AC power.

Press the suspend/resume/on button located above the keyboard to turn on your note-
book. If you need to take an extended break, you may either place it in Suspend mode
or turn it off directly.

Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject
it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your notebook.

When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to
check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found,
your notebook PC will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed.
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the
operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook will
load your operating system.

Never turn off your notebook during thePower On Self Test
(POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.
