Press N to restart the computer.

NOTES

1.The password service diskette must be inserted in drive A, otherwise the display will return to Password = . If you have inserted the diskette in drive A and the message still appears, the password service diskette is faulty. In this case, contact your dealer.

2.If the boot priority is set for the hard disk, press F10 and the reset button to boot from the diskette drive.

Power-up Modes

The computer has two operating modes: boot mode and resume mode. You can set the mode by pressing Fn + F3 to open the Pop-up window and, while holding down Fn, pressing F3 again to change the mode. You can also select the mode by choosing a setting in either the TSETUP program or in MaxTime. See Chapter 11, Setup and Password Security for details on setting the power-up mode.

Boot Mode

Boot mode is the standard operating mode for most computers.

In boot mode, the computer performs the following actions when you start the system:

Clears all programs and data from memory.

Runs a memory test and copies the operating system files from the hard disk to RAM.

Executes any commands in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

In boot mode, you must always save your work and exit the application you’re using before you turn the computer off. Any work you don’t save before shutting the system off is lost.

NOTE

To run a self-test on the computer’s system when you start the computer in boot mode, hold down the space bar while you press the power switch. Run the self-test after you install a memory module or if you think there may be a problem with the system.
