Getting Started
IMPORTANT! To protect the hard drive, wait at least  seconds after turning OFF your
Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
IMPORTANT! Do not use emergency
shutdown while data is being written;
doing so can result in loss or destruction
of your data.
Emergency Shutdown
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there is an additional way to shutdown
your Notebook PC:
Power Options
The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into sleep or hiberna-
tion modes. Actual behavior of the power switch can be customized in Windows Control Panel “Power
Options.”
For other options, such as “Switch User, Restart, Sleep, or Shut Down,”
click the arrowhead next to the lock icon.
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to
restart the system. Some installation processes will provide a dialog box
to allow restart. To restart the system manually, choose Restart.
Hold the power button over 4 seconds.
