following controls and indicators:
• The Power indicator light is always lit when power is supplied to the computer.
• The RUN indicator light will light up when it detects CPU and/or hard disk activity. During
periods of inactivity, the light will be off.
• The Memory indicator light detects memory usage.
• The Select button and the Select indicator light are not functional.
• The Reset button allows you to reset the computer from the control panel. Once the Reset button
is pressed, the hardware will be reset and the computer will reboot. To avoid losing any data,
make sure there are no applications running before you press the Reset button.
• The control panel has a Keylock switch. Locking the switch disables the Reset button. This
feature prevents someone from inadvertently pressing the Reset button while the computer is
active. To enable the Reset button so it functions normally, turn the switch to the unlocked
position.
