Getting started with the Apricot XEN-PC
Chapter 2
Power-on Whenever the XEN-PC is turned on, the power-on self-test
self-test (POST) routine tests various hardware components, including
memory, and checks the computer’s configuration. During this
time, BIOS sign-on and POST messages are displayed.
The boot Provided that POST succeeds without discovering any serious
sequence errors or configuration discrepancies, the XEN-PC attempts
to find an operating system; that is, it attempts to boot. It will
look first for a system diskette, then for a bootable hard disk
partition.
Turning the When you have finished using the XEN-PC and want to turn it
power off off, be sure that any information you want to keep is stored on
a diskette or on a hard disk. Any information held in the
computer’s system memory will be lost when you turn off the
computer.
Always turn off any attached peripherals first, particularly a
printer attached to the parallel port.
If you are logged-in to a network, log out before turning off the
computer. Similarly, close down or exit from any software
which employs virtual memory or disk-caching (for example,
Microsoft Windows v3.1 with SMARTDrive).
Do not turn off the computer if any of the activity indicators on
the front panel are lit; this means that the computer is accessing
either a drive or the network. Wait until that operation is
completed before turning off the computer.
To turn off the XEN-PC, simply press the P
OWER
button again.
The green indicator on the button goes out. (Remember that
the monitor is powered from the system unit.)
After you turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds before
turning it on again. The computer may not initialize itself properly
if you turn it off then on again in quick succession.
