Work with Power Button
Since the notebook computer is equipped with a heater kit to enable the unit to
work under low temperature, the heater will first heat HDD up to the
temperature set by user, and the system will boot after then. Also, the heater
will keep monitoring HDD temperature. Once the temperature becomes lower,
the heater will heat up again to maintain the temperature set by user.
