Power and Power-Up Modes

Starting the computer by password

If you registered a password, start the computer by entering the password manually.

The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot mode, not in Hibernation or Standby mode.

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

1.Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The following message will appear in the LCD:

Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

2.Enter the Password.

3.Press Enter.

If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter the password.

Power-up modes

The computer has three power-up modes:

Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)

Standby (Power remains on, saving data in RAM, but the CPU and all other devices enter sleep mode.)

Boot (does not save data in memory)

Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting Started.
