3 Getting Started Restarting or Rebooting After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to restart the system. Some installation processes will provide a dialog box to allow restart. To restart the system manually: Click the Start button and select Shut Down | and choose Restart. In case the operating system hangs (stops, freezes, crashes), try the following in this order: 1. Try a "warm boot" by pressing the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] keys simultaneously. (You may try a few times.) 2. If warm booting fails to work, you can press the reset button located in a small hole on the bottom of the Notebook PC with a pen, mechanical pencil, or paper clip. (Do not use a standard pencil because the tip may break off in the hole.) Powering OFF the Notebook PC For operating systems equipped with ACPI (Windows ME/2000/XP), the Notebook PC can be powered OFF by using Start | Shut Down... | Shut down. For operating systems without proper power management (DOS, Windows NT), you must power OFF the Notebook PC by holding the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed to 1 second to power ON) after closing applications and exiting operating systems. Holding the power switch for 2 seconds is necessary in order to prevent accidental power-OFFs. 29
