Figure 1-7 Turning On the Power
The notebook runs a series of power-on self-tests (POST) and displays
POST messages. Next, copyright and other messages appear on the
screen followed by the DOS prompt or Windows 95 loading if it is installed.
If you get an error message or the DOS prompt does not appear, see
Chapter 6 for assistance.
Avoid turning the notebook on and off in intervals of less than
five seconds between power on and off, as this may damage
your hard disk drive.
