Power On
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your mini-notebook from its off state. Once you
have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your
notebook.
To turn on your notebook from its off state, press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above the
keyboard to the right. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in Suspend mode,
See “Standby Mode” on page 47. or you can turn it off. See “Powering Off” on page 49..
When you power on your mini-notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the
internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your mini-notebook will emit
an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on
page 73. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating
system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the POST, your mini-notebook will load your operating system.
