Starting Your

LifeBook Notebook

POWER ON

Power and Suspend/Resume Button

The Power and Suspend/Resume button is used to power on your LifeBook notebook, to resume from Standby or Save-to-Disk mode or to place your notebook in Standby or Save-to-Disk mode. (You can also use the button to power down the system by holding it down for approxi- mately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is “hung up”. This shouldn’t be used as the normal means of shutdown, however.) You can also turn off your notebook by choosing Shut Down from the Windows Start menu.

Resume Button

Figure 3-3. Powering Up the System

Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion Battery, you can press this button to power up your notebook. (Figure 3-3)

When you turn on your notebook be sure you have a power source. This means that the battery is installed and charged, or the AC adapter is connected and has power.

Do not carry the notebook around with power on or subject it to vibration or shocks; doing so could damage the notebook.

When you Power On your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your notebook will emit an audio warning and/ or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 59 for more information).

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook will load your operating system.

G e t t i n g S t a r t e d

Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your notebook on the next time.

(See Power On Self Test Messages on page 59 for more information)

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc- tions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

■You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.

■You restart your LifeBook notebook from the Win- dows Shut Down dialog box.

■The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

■You reset the system by pressing the three keys [CTRL+ALT+DEL].

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, there- fore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environ- ment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility also allows you to configure such features as the System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1.Turn on or restart your LifeBook notebook.

2.Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen; this will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with current settings displayed.

3.Press the right or left arrow keys to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings. Additional navigational information is located at the bottom of the BIOS screen.
