Setting Up the Notebook

Setting Up the Software

A prompt to set up the software is displayed on the screen when the notebook is connected to external power and turned on for the first time.

Before responding to the prompt and proceeding through the on-screen instructions, read the following caution and other installation information.

ÄCAUTION: To prevent file corruption and be sure that the correct device drivers install, during software setup:

Run the notebook on external power provided through an AC adapter or a DC cable, not on battery power.

Do not unplug the notebook from the electrical outlet.

Do not shut down the notebook.

After beginning the software setup, you must complete the

entire process without interruption. Setup time varies.

If you are prompted to select a language, choose carefully. The languages that you do not choose are deleted from the system and cannot be restored during the installation.

When you are prompted to accept the End User License Agreement, you must choose Accept to continue the software setup.

During setup, it is normal for some notebook models to pause occasionally for up to 2 minutes and to restart several times. These pauses and restarts occur only during initial software setup. They will not occur during standard Windows startups.
