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. If you’re
fortunate this will
enable you to end
only the task that has
crashed and/or restart
the computer (warm
start). If this does not
work, hold down the
on/off button for more
than four seconds
– this will switch off the
computer. 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 computer 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 computer 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 computer 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 computer.
