Starting Your PC Workstation for the First Time

If your PC Workstation has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first time you start the PC Workstation. The software initialization process takes a few minutes. This process sets up the software in your language and sets up your software to use the hardware installed in your computer (you can change the settings after the software has been initialized).

Initializing Your Software

Do NOT switch OFF the PC Workstation while the software is being initialized—this could cause unexpected results.

To initialize your software:

1Turn on the display first, and then the PC Workstation.

When the PC Workstation is switched on, the HP PC Workstation’s logo is displayed. The PC Workstation performs a Power-On-Self-

Test (POST). Press if you want to view the POST details in the HP Summary Screen (refer to “The HP Summary Screen and Setup Program” on page 101).

If an error is detected during the Power-On-Self-Test, the

PC Workstation will automatically display the error. You may be

prompted to press to start the Setup program to correct the error.

2The software initialization routine starts. It displays the software license agreement, gives you an opportunity to read Working in Comfort (ergonomic advice for computer users), and then asks questions about the PC Workstation. For example:

•The name of the person who will use the PC Workstation and your company name. (If necessary, the name of the user can be modified later.)
