seconds or more. If the computer still does not respond, remove

the ac adapter and the battery.

v Your computer might lock when it enters sleep (standby) mode

during a communication operation. Disable the sleep (standby)

timer when you are working on the network.

Problem: The computer does not start from a device you want.

Solution: See the Startup menu of the BIOS Setup Utility. Make sure that the

startup sequence in the BIOS Setup Utility is set so that the

computer starts from the device you want.

Also make sure that the device from which the computer starts is

enabled. In the startup menu in the BIOS Setup Utility, make sure

that the device is included in the ″Boot priority order″ list. If it is

included in the ″Excluded from boot order″ list, it is disabled. Select

the entry for it in the list and press the x key. This moves the entry

to the ″Boot priority order″ list.

you to select various setup parameters.

startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button” is displayed at the lower left
