Chapter 4. Operating Your Computer
This chapter provides information to help you in the day-to-day use of your
computer. It includes instructions for starting and shutting down your computer,
and information on using audio, video, system-management, and security features.
Using Controls and Status Indicators
Look at the front of your computer. The buttons are controls that allow you to
perform a specific function, such as powering on the computer. The lights are
status indicators that tell you when a certain function, such as the diskette drive or
the CD-ROM drive is in use. For more information, see “Using a CD-ROM Drive”
on page 20.
� Power Switch: Press this switch to turn your computer on or off. Do not turn
off your computer if the in-use light for the hard disk drive or diskette drive is
on.
Note: The power switch normally operates with a single touch. However, in
some circumstances the computer might not immediately power off. If
this happens, hold the power switch down for approximately 5 seconds,
and the computer will then power off.
� Power-On Light: This status indicator lights when you turn on your computer.
� Hard-Disk Drive Light: When this light is on, it indicates that the hard disk
drive heads are being positioned or that your computer is reading from or
writing to the hard disk.
� Client (Workstation) LAN Light: This light indicates when there is network
activity.
