2-2 Using Your Computer
SYSTEM OPERATION
In this section, you can find the following information:
starting up and shutting down your system
setting the date and time
using system features such as the CD-ROM/DVD drive
using power management and security features.
Starting Up
Press the power button to start up your system. The power
lamp lights green to indicate that the system is on.
Several configuration messages appear on the screen at
startup. These messages are part of your system’s
Power-On Self-Test (POST). Your computer is checking
your hardware for any changes since the last startup. One
beep indicates that the system has successfully completed
the power-on test.
NOTE
You can bypass the POST memory test by
pressing the space bar.
If a problem occurs, a series of beeps may sound. If this
happens repeatedly after powering on, power off the system
and turn to Chapter 8. This chapter provides some helpful
hints on obvious system problems.
