Emergency shut down
In exceptional circumstances, you can put your PC into Off [
red
]
mode without shutting down the operating system.
To do this, press and hold down the P
OWER
button for
at least four
seconds
. This should be only a last resort, as some operating systems
create temporary files as part of their procedure and these are
deleted during a normal shutdown. They would remain on your
hard drive in an emergency shut down and will require manual
deletion. They can sometimes use up considerable drive space.
CAUTION
In an emergency shut down, you will lose any recent changes made to
the files you are currently working on.
Using the computer for the first time
The first time you turn on your computer you must tell
Windows your name (and the name of the company for which you
work, if applicable) and agree to the legal terms and conditions of
the Windows Licence Agreement. Windows then spends a few
minutes analysing your computer and configuring itself to take full
advantage of your computer’s components. Windows also offers you
the opportunity to install a printer.
Backing-up the pre-installed software
Mitsubishi PCs arrive with a pre-installed operating system or
‘Software’. Additional software may be pre-installed at the factory or
by your Mitsubishi Electric PC supplier.
We
strongly
recommend that you copy or ‘back-up’ any pre-installed
software soon after setting up the system. This is particularly
important for systems that are supplied without installation
diskettes for the software on the hard disk. A back up copy will
safeguard the pre-installed software against loss if the hard disk fails
or if you accidentally overwrite or delete files.
