System Controls and Lamps

System unit controls include a power/sleep button, power lamp, sleep Tlamp, and hard drive activity lamp.

Power/sleep button

To turn system unit and LCD panel power on, press the power/sleep button. To turn off power, press the button and hold in place for four or more seconds before releasing.

Do not turn off the system power until you have closed all applications and Windows or you may possibly lose data.

To suspend system unit and LCD panel operation, press the power/sleep button and release within three seconds or less. This places the system unit and LCD panel in a power savings mode. Use this feature if you plan to be away from your system for more than 15 minutes.

Do not hold the button in any longer than three seconds or you will turn off the system and possibly lose data.

Press any key or move the mouse to resume system operation at the

Tpoint where you stopped it.

Power and sleep lamps

The power lamp indicates if system power is on or off. The sleep lamp lets you know if the system is operating in a power-saving mode.

A steady green power lamp indicates that the power is on to all system components. An amber sleep lamp indicates that the system is in sleep

Tmode with full-power reduction.

Hard drive activity lamp

A flashing green lamp indicates that the hard drive is active and is reading or writing data.

Do not turn off the system unless absolutely necessary while the hard drive lamp is flashing. To do so can damage your hard drive or data.
