TChanging video drivers

TSystem care.

SYSTEM OPERATION

In this section you will find information on starting up and shutting down your system, setting the date and time, using system and protection features.

Starting up

Press the power button to start up your system. The power lamp lights green to indicate that the system is on.

When you are starting Windows NT™ 4.0 press Ctrl-Alt- Del, you'll see several configuration messages display on the screen at startup.

These messages are part of your system's Power-On SelfTest (POST). Your computer is checking your hardware for any changes since the last startup. One beep indicates that the system has successfully completed the power-on test.

Using Your Computer 2-1

NOTE

You can bypass the POST memory test by pressing the space bar.

If a problem occurs, a series of beeps may sound. If this happens repeatedly after powering on, power off the system and turn to Chapter 8, If You Have a Problem. This chapter provides some helpful hints on obvious system problems.

NOTE

If the system displays a message indicating that system settings have changed, run Setup (see Chapter 4, NEC Drivers and Utilities).

Shutting Down

Follow these steps to shut down (power off) your computer.

1.Save your work. See the documentation that comes with your application.

2.Exit the application program. If you are in Windows, select File. Select Logoff or Shutdown. Selecting Shutdown gives you a choice of Shutdown or Shutdown/Restart. Select Shutdown again.

3.Make sure that the hard disk and diskette drives are not in use. A lit hard disk lamp or diskette drive busy lamp indicates that a drive is in use.

4.Turn off power to your monitor.

5.Power off the system by pressing the system unit power button.
