Getting Started
Starting up for the first time
The Microsoft Windows XP Startup Screen will be the first screen displayed
when you turn on the power. Follow the on-screen instructions on each
screen in order to properly install the operating system.
Turning off the power
The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down
Mode, Hibernation Mode or Standby Mode.
Shut Down Mode
When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode no data will be saved and
the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time
it is turned on.
1. If you have entered data, either save it to the hard disk drive or to other
storage media.
2. Click Start button, then click Turn Off Computer. From Turn Off
Computer menu select Turn Off.
3. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer.
When it is displayed, be sure to read the Software License Terms
carefully.
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the
power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you may lose data or
damage the disk.
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so
could cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause
data loss.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
