After a few seconds, the computer’s display will turn on and your computer
will begin to execute the Power On Self Test or POST to check if all system
components are running properly. Any error found during the test will be
displayed on the screen and may generate short beep sound as well.
After the test, the screen will also display a message "press <F2> to enter
SETUP". You don’t need to run this program at the moment as your dealer
already made the necessary settings for your computer optimal operation.
Refer to Chapter 6 on running the SETUP program later.
After the test has completed, your computer will start to search and boot up
the operating system from your hard drive. The notebook computer normally
comes with a Windows operating system pre-installed in your hard drive.
2.4 Adjusting the Display Controls
The LCD brightness adjustment is controlled by <Fn> +<F8> and <Fn> +
<F9> keys respectively. You need to press these hot-key controls after
powering on your notebook to suit your viewing pleasure.
The Brightness hot-key control adjusts the brightness on the LCD. The
brightness hot-key control will not set the LCD completely dark or bright; it
provides sufficient lighting to the LCD to match the external lighting of the
surrounding. The brighter the room, the more you need to increase the
brightness of the LCD.
2.5 Turning off Your Computer
If you are not going to use the computer for a while, it is best to turn off the
power of the computer. Before turning off the power, you need to first close
all application programs and shut down the operating system.
