How do I switch it on?
The power button is on the back of the computer in the lower left hand corner. Plese do not power off when finished.
How do I save my work so that it is available when I return?

Save it on your Individual Network Filestore which is mapped as a drive. Linux and Macintosh OS X will display the drive, titled with your username, on the desktop. A window pops up on logon to ask for your university password. If this is entered correctly the mapped drive will show on the desktop. If the pop up was accidentally cancelled, log out and back in to restore the drive mapping. |
