notebook. Initially you will need to
connect the AC Adapter to use it.
When the Power Switch is turned On, your
notebook carries out a Power On Self Test to
check the internal parts and configuration. If a
fault is found a beep will sound and/or an error
message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting
on pages 91–109) Depending on the nature of
the problem, you may be able to continue by
starting the operating system or by entering the
Setup Utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the Power On
Self Test your notebook will load the operating
system. (See Boot Menu on pages 71–72 to see
which kind of disk will be the source.)

Never turn off your notebook during
Power On Self Test or it will cause an
error message to be displayed when you
turn your notebook on the next time.
