Turning on the power

This section describes how to turn on the power.
Before you start the computer, turn it upside down and make a memo of
the Windows Product ID, found on the Certificate of Authenticity. You will
need to enter this number if you select Windows as your operating system.
After you turn on the power for the first time, do not turn it off until you
have selected an operating system (OS) and your selected OS has started
up. Refer to the section Selecting an operating system in this chapter.
1. If the external diskette drive is connected, make sure it is empty. If a
diskette is in the drive, press the eject button and remove the diskette.
2. Slide the power switch lock (illustrated below on the underside of the
computer) to its unlocked position, then press and hold the switch for
two or three seconds.
If you turn on the computer in Standby, Suspend or Hibernation mode, the
screen will appear as it was when the computer was turned off.
