Switching the Notebook On
You’ve now completed the preparations. Now press the on/off button to switch on the
notebook.
Tip:
If you experience a
program or system
crash, press the keys:
Ctrl + Alt + Del at the
same time. In most
cases, this will enable
you to end only the
task that has crashed
and restart the note-
book (warm start).
If this does not work,
hold down the on/off
button for more than
four seconds – this will
switch off the note-
book.s You can now
start up the computer
as normal (cold start).
Please note that with
Microsoft® Windows
operating systems you
should always switch
off the notebook as
follows:
Click the Start button.
Select Shut Down.
Click OK.
This avoids any prob-
lems with the hard disk
and operating system.
The operating system is installed the first time you switch on
the computer. Please follow the operating system’s installa-
tion instructions here.
After installation and restarting, the notebook is ready to
use.
The basic graphics functions allow you to modify the resolu-
tion, the color depth and the desktop appearance.
You can find more detailed information on this point in the
installation instructions.
Once the notebook is switched on, the on/off button can per-
form several functions depending on the energy settings.
In the standard setting, pressing the on/off button again will
switch off the notebook.
