Color Classic, LC 520: Power Switches
I just pulled my new Color Classic out of the box, plugged it in, and turned it on but it didn't power up.
Also, can I shut off the dialog box that comes up once I hit the Power key on the keyboard?
When the Color Classic and the LC 520 first come out of the box and the power switch on the rear is turned on, the computer doesn't start up. To turn on the computer, just press the power key on the keyboard. Most power-on and -off operations should be done from the keyboard.
To shut down the Color Classic or the LC 520, press the power key on the keyboard.
You need to use the power switch in the back of the Color Classic and the LC 520 only to prepare them for:
- Long-term storage
- Removal of the logic board. (If you forget to turn this switch off before removing the logic board, there is a danger of shorting something out, because power will still be active on the board.)
To shut down the Color Classic or the LC 520, press the power key on the keyboard.
For data security reasons, we thought it was best that the dialog appear each time the keyboard button is pressed. The dialog box cannot be disabled.
