You may encounter the following situations when the computer is turned on at very
low temperatures. These functions are designed to prevent hard disk drive malfunc-
tions that may occur at low temperatures.
The message “Warming up the system” is displayed, and start-up takes longer than
usual (a few minutes or more).
In this case, wait for the computer to start up.
The power indicator will blink quickly (in green); in this case, the power does not
turn on, or the computer does not resume from standby or hibernation mode.
To restart the computer, leave it in an environment with a temperature of 5°C (41°F)
or more for about an hour, and try turning the power on once more.
