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 92–115.) 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 73–74 to see
which kind of disk will be the source.)
C A U T I O N
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.
(See the Trouble-shooting information
on pages 112–115.)

trolled. It will vary for di erent models.

Power Off
Before turning o the power by putting the
Power Switch in the O position, check that the
Hard Disk,CD-ROM,PC Card and the Floppy
Disk Access Indicators are all O . (See Figure
2-3, page 17.) If you turn o the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of
loss of data. The O position is reached by
facing the Keyboard and Built-in Display and
moving the switch toward the front of your
notebook. To assure that your notebook shuts
down without error, use the shutdown sequence
for the operating system.
C A U T I O N
Never turn your notebook off while an
application is running. Be sure to close all
files, exit all applications and shutdown
the operating system prior to turning off
the power with the Power Switch. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.
