SECTION THREE

CONFIGURING YOUR LIFEBOOK 600 SERIES FROM FUJITSU

This section explains the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS setup utility is required to set the date, time, power management modes,data security passwords and other operating parameters of your notebook.

BOOT SEQUENCE

Each time you power up or restart your LifeBook 600 Series,it goes through a quiet boot sequence that displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During quiet boot, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). To access the ability to change the drive that will be used for finding the operating system, press the Esc key anytime while the Fujitsu logo is displayed. To enter the BIOS setup utility press the F2 key anytime while the Fujitsu logo is displayed. When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the setup utility, the

system displays the Windows 95 opening screen. The boot sequence is executed when:

■You turn on power to the system using the power switch on the right side panel of your notebook. (Figure 2-5 on page 27.)

■You restart your computer from the Windows 95 Shutdown Menu of the Start Menu.

■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 at the same time. This method is not recommended since it can result in loss of data.

P O I N T

The BIOS setup utility is entered by pressing the F2 key during the boot process while the Fujitsu logo is on the screen.

IDENTIFYING THE DRIVES

Your notebook uses drive letters (Example A:, B:,C:,D:, E:) to identify internal and external devices such as hard drives, floppy disk drives, CD-ROM drives and PC Cards. The most com- monly assigned drive designators are listed below. If you add other devices, the drive desig- nators may be different. See your operating sys- tem manual for setting drive designators.

Drive Designators

A:Floppy disk drive.

Built-in the LAN Enhancement Unit or the external floppy disk drive.

B:Not used with your notebook.

C:Hard drive.

Installed inside your notebook.

D:CD-ROM drive.

Built-in the Enhancement Unit.
