Hardware Setup

During hardware setup, you will

1.Identify the hardware required for setup.

2.Insert the battery pack into the notebook, so the battery can begin to charge as soon as the notebook is connected to external power.

3.Connect the modem, so you will be able to register the notebook and operating system during software setup.

4.Connect the notebook to external power.

5.Open the notebook.

6.Turn on the notebook.

When the notebook is turned on, you will be prompted to begin software setup.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers are installed:

Do not set up the notebook for the first time while the notebook is docked in an optional Expansion Base. (The Expansion Base can be used only with select models.)

During the hardware and software setup procedures:

Do not unplug the notebook from external power.

Do not shut down the notebook or initiate standby or hibernation.

Do connect your modem as instructed in “Step 3: Connect the Modem” later in this chapter, but do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any other device, cable, or cord.
