Setting Up the System 2-3
If a problem occurs, a series of beeps may sound. If this happens
repeatedly after powering on, power off the system and go to Chapter 6,
“Solving System Problems.” The chapter provides helpful hints for
solving system problems.
If the system displays a message indicating that system settings have
changed, run the BIOS Setup utility (see Chapter 3, “Configuring the
System”).
On systems loaded with the Windows NT
®
4.0 operating system, press
Ctrl Alt Del
when prompted on-screen to do so. The log-on box appears
for entering a password.
Shutdown
Follow these steps to power off the system.
To prevent damage to system components, wake
a system in sleep mode, save and close any open applications, exit
Windows, power down the system, and unplug the AC adapter power cord
from the power source.
1.
If the system is in sleep mode (sleep mode lamp lit), move the mouse
or press a key to take it out of sleep mode (see “Power Saving
Operation” in the next section).
2.
Save and exit all your open applications.
3.
Make sure that the hard drive, diskette drive, and any other drives are
not in use. A lit device lamp indicates that the device is in use.
Wait until all open applications are saved and
closed before using the Windows shut down procedure in step 4.
Unless absolutely necessary, never power off the system if the system
sleep lamp is amber, if either the hard drive lamp, diskette drive, or other
device lamp is flashing, or if any applications are open. Information on the
device might be lost or damaged.
