Setting Up the System 2-3
If a problem occurs, a series of beeps might sound. If this happens
repeatedly after powering on, power off the system and go to Chapter 5,
“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 with the Windows 2000 operating system, enter your
password at the log-on box. On systems with the Windows NT
®
4.0
operating system, press
Ctrl Alt Del
when prompted on-screen to do so.
Enter your password at the log-on box.
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, and power down the system.
1.
If the system is in sleep mode (sleep mode lamp amber), move the
mouse or press a key to take it out of sleep mode (see “Power Saving
Operation” in the next section).
2.
Save your work and exit all 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 (sleep mode), 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.
