Starting Your M2011 Notebook
Power On
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your 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 46. or you can turn it off. See “Powering Off” on page 48..
When you power on your 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 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 notebook will load your operating system.
