Your computer’s features and specifications
Certain notebook chassis are designed to accommodate all
possible configurations for an entire product Series. Your
selected model may not have all the features and
specifications corresponding to all of the icons or switches
shown on the notebook chassis, unless you have selected all
those features.
Below is an example of one of the many possible icons used
on your computer:

Turning on the power
1
Make sure any external devices (such as the AC adapter, if
you plan to use AC power rather than battery power) are
properly connected and ready.
2
Check to ensure that all disc drives are empty.
3
Press and hold the power button until the on/off light on
the system indicator panel glows green—approximately
one second.
An indicator light on the front of your computer lets you
know the system indicator status when the display is closed.
When you turn on the computer for the first time, do not turn
off the power again until the operating system has loaded
completely.
