Turning on your computer for the first time

In order to start up, your computer must have special software (called system software) installed on the hard disk. Your computer may have this software already installed.

To see if your hard disk already has system software installed, follow these two steps to turn on your computer.

1.Press the top of the main power switch at the back

of the computer. The top of the switch is marked with an “i”.

This switch provides power to your computer, but doesn’t turn it on.
