Power-on indicator/

power button

The power-on indicator lights

when the system power is on.
The power button controls the

DC power supply output to the system.

When the optional system bezel is

installed, the power button is not

accessible.

When powering on the system,

the video monitor can take from several

seconds to over 2 minutes to display an

image, depending on the amount of

memory installed in the system.

systems, turning off the system using the

To force an ungraceful shutdown,

press and hold the power button for

five seconds.
