Note

If your computer’s configuration does not match the information stored in the computer’s CMOS RAM (defined through the SETUP pro am), you see an error message and a prompt to press the ?3F2 key. Press [F21 to run the

SETUP program to correct the information. (See Chapter 2 of the Setup Guide for instructions.)

If you do not want to run SETUP, ignore the prompt. Your computer then loads the operating system from the hard disk or the diskette in drive A. (If the operating system has not been installed on the hard disk or is not on the diskette you inserted, the computer displays an error message. See your operating system manuals for installation instructions.)

What happens next depends on how your computer is set up. If it is configured to automatically load a program (such as Windows or a word processing program), you see the first menu or screen display of that program. If not, you may see the operating system prompt, such as C : \ B or A>. See your application program manuals for further instructions.

Turning Off the ComputerWhenever you turn off your system, follow these steps:1.Save your data and exit any program you are using.

2.Check the hard disk access light and the diskette drive light(s) to make sure they are not on. (See the illustration on page 1-3to locate these lights.) Do not turn off the computer if a drive light is on, because you can damage the drive or lose data.
