Restoring the Software

Restore the original operating system and factory-installed

software by using the Restore Plus! CD and any other CDs that

came with the computer. Carefully read and follow the

instructions provided for the restore solution that came with the

To properly turn off the computer, first shut down the operating

system software. In Microsoft Windows XP Professional, click

Start > Shut Down. In Microsoft Windows XP Home, click

Start > Turn Off Computer. The computer automatically shuts

down.

Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button

causes the computer to enter a low-power or “standby” state

instead of automatically turning the power off. This allows you to

conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you

can start using the computer immediately without having to

restart the operating system and without losing any data.

ÄCAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off can cause loss of

data.

To turn off power to the computer, press and hold the power

button for four seconds. However, manually turning off the power

bypasses the standby state and can result in loss of data.

To reconfigure the power button to work in On/Off mode, run

Computer Setup. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility

Guide on the Documentation CD for more information about

using the Computer Setup utility.
