2.3 Starting Your Computer
The Power/Resume button is found on the top of the base unit. Press the
Power/Resume button to start your computer and check that if the Power
LED turns on.
After a few seconds, the computer’s display will turn on and your computer
will begin to execute the Power On Self Test or POST to check if all system
components are running properly. Any error found during the test will be
displayed on the screen and may generate short beep sound as well.
After the test, the screen will also display a message "press <F2> to enter
SETUP". You don’t need to run this program at the moment as your dealer
already made the necessary settings for your computer optimal operation.
Refer to Chapter 6 on running the SETUP program later.
After the test has completed, your computer will start to search and boot up
the operating system from your hard drive. The notebook computer normally
comes with a Windows operating system pre-installed in your hard drive.
