Turning on the Computer
Now you are ready to begin using your computer. To turn it on simply press
the power button on the front panel.
When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Standby/Hiber-
nate/Shutdown hot-key button when it is pressed for less than
4 seconds
(pressing and holding the power button for longer than this will shut the com-
puter down). Use
Power Options in the Windows control panel to configure
this feature.
Shutdown
Note that you should
always shut your com-
puter down by choos-
ing the
Turn Off
Computer command
from the Start menu in
Windows . This will
help prevent hard disk
or system problems.
Forced Off
If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press
the power button for 4 seconds , or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.
Power Button as Standby or Hibernate Button
If you are using a fully ACPI-compliant OS, (such as Windows XP) you can use the
OS’s “Power Options” control panel to set the power button to send the system into
Standby or Hibernate mode (see your OS’s documentation, or
“Configuring the
Power Button” on page 3 - 8 for details).
