2.3  Starting Your Notebook

Suspend/Power On Button 

The suspend/power on switch is used to turn on your notebook from 
its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the 
internal Lithium-Ion battery, you can power on your notebook by pressing 
the suspend/power on button located above the keyboard. If you need to 
take an extended break, press the button again to turn it off.
 

CAUTION: Do not carry your notebook around with the power 
on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging the 
hard disk. 

When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On 
Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and confguration for 
correct functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio 
warningand/or displays an error message. 

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by 
starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and 
revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self 
Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed operating system.

CAUTION Never turn off your notebook during the Power On 

Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.
