Turning on the Computer
Your computer is supplied with an advanced power supply that
allows the operating system to control the operation. The front
power switch is used primarily to turn the system on. The power
switch can also be used to turn off the computer before the
operating system is completely loaded. Once the operating
system is completely loaded and the computer is operational the
computer should only be turned off using the operating system.
Pressing the power switch on the front panel turns on the
computer. Figure 1 shows the location of the power
switch.
Power-on Self-Test
Each time you turn on the Computer, the power-on self-test
(POST) runs automatically and checks the system motherboard,
CPU module, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral
devices.
NOTE
If the system halts before POST completes running and emits a beep
code indicating a fatal system error or displays a POST failure
message on the monitor, contact your service representative or
supplier for assistance.
The POST will also display the mess
age “Press <F2> key if you
want to run SETUP.” You have about five seconds to press <F2>
to enter setup before the boot process will continue.
The computer will then start the operating system. Please refer
to the documentation supplied with the operating system for
further information on operating the computer.
Shutting off Your Computer
Your computer is equipped with a power supply that supports
the “Soft-OFF” feature of operating systems that support the
ACPI 1.0 or APM standard 1.1 or higher. The “Soft-OFF” feature
allows the operating system to turn off the power supply
automatically once it is ready to shut down the system.
Please refer to the manual supplied with you operating system
