Starting Your LifeBook

POWER ON

Power Switch

The power switch is used to turn on your LifeBook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your LifeBook. (See figure 2-4 on page 11 for location)

C A U T I O N

When you turn on your LifeBook be sure you have a power source. This means that at least one battery is installed and charged, or that the AC or Auto/Airline adapter is connected and has power.

Facing the keyboard and display panel, move the power switch towards the back of your LifeBook. This is the On position. The power switch moved toward the front of your LifeBook is in the Off position. When you are done working you can either leave your LifeBook in Suspend mode, (See Suspend Mode on page 36 for more informa- tion), or you can turn it off. (See Power Off on page 38 for more information)

C A U T I O N

Do not carry your LifeBook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your LifeBook.

When you Power On your LifeBook, 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 LifeBook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 67 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 LifeBook will load your operating system.

C A U T I O N

Never turn off your LifeBook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your LifeBook on the next time. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 67 for

more information)

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your Fujitsu LifeBook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Life- Book’s BIOS. When your LifeBook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your LifeBook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your LifeBook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your LifeBook 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.

■You restart your LifeBook from the Windows 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 LifeBook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your LifeBook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

■Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.

■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.

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 the current settings displayed.

3.Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.

BIOS Guide

A guide to your LifeBook’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support Web site at www.8fujitsu.com. Once there, click on the Self Help Center link, and select your LifeBook series from the
