Setting Up the System 2-3

If a problem occurs, a series of beeps might sound. If this happens
repeatedly after powering on, power off the system and go to Chapter 5,
“Solving System Problems.” The chapter provides helpful hints for
solving system problems.

If the system displays a message indicating that system settings have
changed, run the BIOS Setup Utility (see Chapter 3, “Configuring the
System”).

On systems loaded with the Windows NT

®

4.0 or Windows 2000

operating system, press

Ctrl Alt Del

when prompted on-screen to do so.

The log-on box appears for entering a password.

Shutdown

Follow these steps to power off the system.

To prevent damage to system components, wake

a system in sleep mode, save and close any open applications, exit
Windows, and power down the system.

1.

If the system is in sleep mode (sleep mode lamp amber), move the
mouse or press a key to take it out of sleep mode (see “Power Saving
Operation” in the next section).

2.

Save and exit all your open applications.

3.

Make sure that the hard drive, diskette drive, and any other drives are
not in use. A lit device lamp indicates that the device is in use.

Wait until all open applications are saved and

closed before using the Windows shut down procedure in step 4.

Unless absolutely necessary, never power off the system if the system
sleep lamp is amber, if either the hard drive lamp, diskette drive, or other
device lamp is flashing, or if any applications are open. Information on the
device might be lost or damaged.
