1-4 Using Your Computer
The power button controls power to the system unit. Press
the button once to turn on the power and again to turn off
the power. The power button is almost flush with the front
panel when power is off and indented further when power
is on.
See "Startup/Shutdown" later in this chapter for informa-
tion about powering on and off.
The front panel contains two lamps, power and disk.
n
The power lamp (green) indicates that the system unit
is powered on. When in suspend mode, the power lamp
on the front panel changes from green to amber.
A green lamp indicates that the system is in a Full
Power On mode of operation. An amber lamp indicates
that the system is in Suspend mode with full power
reduction.
See "Power Management" later in this chapter for in-
formation about power saving modes of operation.
n
The disk lamp (green) indicates when a hard disk is
performing a read or write operation.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the system,
unless absolutely necessary, while the disk lamp is
lit or in suspend mode. To do so can damage your
hard disk or data.
