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 turn to Chapter 6,
“Solving System Problems.” The chapter provides helpful hints for
solving system problems.
Note
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 your 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 your system is in sleep mode, 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 a program is finished running before
powering off the system.
Unless absolutely necessary, never power off the system when the system
power lamp is amber or when either the hard drive lamp, diskette drive, or
other device lamp is flashing. Information on the device might be lost or
damaged.
