Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows NT Workstation 4.0 is
your computer’s operating system. If you’ve used Windows 98 or
95, you’ll find Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 similar in many ways.
For information about your operating system, refer to the
operating system documentation that came with your computer, or
access your operating system’s online Help.

Logging on to Windows NT
A major difference between Windows NT and other versions of
Windows is that you have to log on, even when your computer is
not connected to a network.
To turn on your computer and log on to Windows NT:
1 If an external diskette drive is connected to your computer, or
a diskette drive module is installed in the SelectBay, check
that the drive is empty.
2 If a printer or other external device is connected to the
computer, turn on the device.
3 If the battery is not charged or you are running the computer
on AC power, connect the AC adapter.
See “Connecting the
AC adapter” on page 48.
4 If the power button cover is over the power button, slide the
cover to the rear to reveal the power button. Then press and
hold the power button until the on/off light glows green.
A screen appears prompting you to select the operating
system option in which you want Windows NT to start.
