Getting Started
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system, you
may be prompted to restart the system. Some instal-
lation processes will provide a dialog box to allow
restart. To restart the system manually:
Click the Start button and select Shut Down | and
choose Restart.
In case the operating system hangs (stops, freezes,
crashes), try the following in this order:
1. Try a “warm boot” by pressing [Ctrl][Alt][Del]
keys simultaneously. (You may try a few times if
there is no response.)
2. If warm booting fails to work, see below for emer-
gency shutdown procedure.
The screens are different depending
on your security settings.
Powering OFF the Notebook PC
For operating systems equipped with ACPI (Win-
dows 2000 & XP), the Notebook PC can be pow-
ered OFF by using Start | Shut Down... | Turn off
(orShut down). For operating systems without
proper power management (DOS, Windows NT),
you must power OFF the Notebook PC by holding
the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed to 1 sec-
ond to power ON) after closing applications and
exiting operating systems. Holding the power switch
for 2 seconds is necessary in order to prevent acci-
dental power-OFFs.
Emergency Shutdown
In case your system won’t turn OFF or restart, press
the shutdown button with a straightened paper clip.
