STARTING YOUR NOTEBOOK
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Power On
The power switch is located on the right side of
your notebook. This switch is used to turn On
the computer from its Off state. Once you have
connected your AC adapter or have charged the
internal Lithium ion Battery, you can power On
your notebook.
C A U T I O N
The main Lithium ion battery is not
charged when you purchase your note-
book. Initially you will need to connect
the AC adapter to use it. If you purchase
an optional second Lithium ion battery, it
will not be charged when you get it, you
will need to charge it prior to use.
Facing the keyboard and display panel, move the
power switch towards the rear of your notebook.
This is the On position. (See Figure 2-4.) When
you are done working you can leave your note-

book in Suspend mode, (see page 49), or you can
turn it off. The power switch moved toward the
front of your notebook is in the Off position.
(See the section Power Off, pages 24-25, for the
recommended shutoff procedures.)
C A U T I O N
Do not carry your notebook around
with the power on or subject it to shocks
or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.
C A U T I O N
When you turn on your notebook be
sure you have a power source. This
means that at least one battery is
installed and charged, or that the AC
adapter or the auto/airline adapter is
connected and has power.
When the power switch is turned on, your
notebook carries out a Power On Self Test
(POST) to check the internal parts and config-
uration. If a fault is found a beep will sound
and/or an error message will be displayed.
(See Troubleshooting on pages 170-172) Depend-
ing 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 will load your
operating system. (See Boot Menu on pages 115-
116 to see which kind of disk will be the source.)
