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.
