Chapter Two - 9
Operating Information
Operating System
This notebook computer is compatible with most operating systems (OS).
However, not all functions are 100% compatible. For example, ACPI, Smart
Battery, and etc. are not available on DOS, and other non-Microsoft OS.
Consequently “Standby”, “Hibernation”, “Battery Gauge”, and etc. would not
work under such operating systems.
Work with Power Button
Since the notebook computer is equipped with a heater kit to enable the unit to
work under low temperature, the heater will first heat HDD up to the
temperature set by user, and the system will boot after then. Also, the heater
will keep monitoring HDD temperature. Once the temperature becomes lower,
the heater will heat up again to maintain the temperature set by user.
The function will be different from the way you use with the power button:
1. Press 12 seconds and release:
USB port is enabled and you can set a new value in Heater AP.
2. Press 9~11 seconds:
The system will be forced to boot up.
3. Press 5~8 seconds:
Enable/Disable the sound of Heater.
4. Press 4 seconds under OS:
Shut
down the system.
5. Click the Power button.
a. Power on the system in S5 status.
b. Click while heating up, the system will be forced to shutdown
c.
Entering S3/S4 under OS.
Boot Up and POST
Boot up
The computer turns ON and loads the operating system (such as Windows)
into the system memory. This start-up
procedure is called “boot up”.
The ROM BIOS Power on Self-Test (POST)
Each time the computer powers on, it automatically performs a self-test of its
memory and hardware devices.
