When the power is turned on, sometimes the message “Warming up the system (up
to 20 minutes)” is displayed or the battery indicator alternately blinks green and
orange. This function is designed to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions that may
occur at low temperatures. Wait for the computer to start up.
