User's Guide Computer EL 486UC+

If your system is configured to automatically load a program
(such as Microsoft Windows or a word processing
program), you see the first menu or screen display of that
program. If not, you may see the operating system prompt,
such as C: \> or A: \>.
If there is no operating system installed on your computer,
you see an error message. Ignore the message for now; once
you install the operating system, you will not see it.
Now you need to run the SETUP program to make sure your
computer is configured properly. First turn off the computer, as
described below, then see Chapter 2 for instructions. When you
finish running SETUP, be sure to see “Post-SETUP Procedures”
on page 2-13 for guidelines on what you need to do next.
Turning Off the Computer
Whenever you turn off your system, follow these steps:
1. Save your data and exit any application program you are
using.
2. Check the hard disk drive light and the diskette drive light(s)
to make sure they are not on. Do not turn off the computer
if a drive light is on, because you can damage the drive or
lose data.
3. Remove any diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s).
4. Press the power button to turn off the computer.
5. Turn off the monitor, printer, and any other peripheral
devices.
