Setting Up the Software

Completing Initial Setup

You can begin initial setup as soon as the computer is connected to external power and the initial setup prompt is displayed on the screen.

Before responding to the initial setup prompt and proceeding through the online instructions, read the following caution and other initial setup information:

ÄCAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers install during initial setup:

■Do not unplug the computer from the electrical outlet.

■Do not shut down the computer.

■Do not remove or insert a drive.

■Once you begin initial software setup, you must complete the

entire process. Setup time varies by computer configuration.

■If you are prompted to select a language or operating system, choose carefully.

❏The languages and operating system that you do not choose will be deleted from the system and cannot be restored during initial setup.

❏An operating system available during initial setup is enhanced by Compaq. When an operating system is deleted, the enhancements are also deleted.

■During the setup process, you must accept the End User License Agreement to continue. The Product Key referenced on the License Agreement screen is on the Certificate of Authenticity label on the bottom of the computer. You may want to verify that the Product Key displayed on the screen is the same as the number on the label.
