Using the computer for the first time
Your computer’s features and specifications
Certain notebook chassis are designed to accommodate all possible
configurations for an entire product Series. Your select model may
not have all the features and specifications corresponding to all of
the icons or switches shown on the notebook chassis, unless you
have selected all those features.
This information applies to all the features and icons described in
this guide.
Below are examples of some of the many possible icons used on
your computer:

Turning on the power
To turn on the computer:
1
Make sure any external devices (such as the AC adaptor, if you
plan to use AC power rather than battery power) are properly
connected and ready.
2
Check to ensure that all optical drives are empty.
3
Press and hold the power button in until the on/off light on the
system indicator panel glows blue—about one second.
(Sample Illustration) Turning on the power
The preinstalled operating system will load automatically.
When you turn on the computer for the first time, do not turn off the
power again until the operating system has loaded completely.
