Getting Started
Starting up for the first time
When you first turn on the power, the computer's initial screen is the
Microsoft
®
Windows XP Startup Screen Logo. Follow the on-screen
directions for each screen. During setup, you can click the Back button to
return to the previous screen.
Be sure to read the Windows End User License Agreement display carefully.
Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of the following modes: Shut down
(Boot), Hibernation or Standby mode.
Shut Down mode (Boot mode)
When you turn off the power in Shut Down mode no data is saved and the
computer will boot to the operating system's main screen.
1. If you have entered data, save it to the hard disk or to a diskette.
2. Make sure all disk activity has stopped, then remove the CD/DVD-ROM
or diskette.
3. Click start and click Turn Off Computer. From the Turn Off Computer
window click Turn Off.
4. Turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Hibernation mode
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk when
the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned on, the
previous state is restored. The Hibernation feature does not save the status
of peripheral devices.
Make sure the Built-in Hard Disk Drive and optical media drive are off. If
you turn off the power while a disk is being accessed, you can lose data or
damage the disk.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
1. While entering Hibernation mode, the computer saves the contents of
memory to the Hard disk drive. Data will be lost if you remove the battery
or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the
Built-in Hard Disk Drive indicator to go out.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Hibernation mode. Data will be lost.
