Turning On and Off the Computer
Turning On
1. Make sure that the computer is connected to AC power or battery is fully
charged.
2. Open the top cover.
3. Press the power button (
).
4. Each time the computer is turned on, it performs a Power-On Self Test
(POST), and the operating system such as Windows should start.
Turning Off
To turn off the computer power, use the “Shut Down” command of your
operating system.
NOTE: There are other ways you can stop the computer so that you will be
back to where you left off when you next turn on the computer. (See
“Stopping the Computer” in Chapter 2 for information.)
CAUTION: If you have to turn the computer on again immediately after
turning it off, wait for at least five seconds. Turning the computer off and
on rapidly can damage it.
