Figure 2-3 Power On

When powered On, your notebook carries out a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the inter- nal parts and configuration. If a fault is found a short series of beeps will sound and/or an error message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting on pages 80-82.)Depending on the nature of the problem you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST) your notebook will load your operating system.

Booting the System with Windows 98 Second Edition

We strongly recommend that you not attach any other external devices and do not put a CD, DVD or floppy in any drives until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will read the hard drive for the operating system software, flash the notebook configuration information on the screen, and then the Windows 98 SE Welcome will begin.

Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in many different countries, Windows 98 SE needs to be configured for you the first time you use it. The Windows 98 SE has four parts: Getting Started – here you have the opportunity to enter this custom information and setup your phone so that your LifeBook will be pre- pared to dial out, Registration – easy on-line registration for Windows 98 SE with Microsoft and your LifeBook with Fujitsu PC Corporation,

Windows License – a required procedure to acti- vate Windows 98 SE, and Final Settings – Windows 98 SE takes the information you have entered and makes your configuration. If you need to stop the process, you may click on "can- cel" on any screen, and Windows 98 SE will shut down. You may restart the process at any time, but you must complete it to use your LifeBook.

Getting Started

Read the instructions on the screens carefully, and fill in the information as directed. You will be asked for such items as the language you wish to use, the country in which you live, your first and last name, and about how you dial out from where you will be using your computer. For the phone settings, enter the information for the location where you are setting up your LifeBook. Windows 98 SE will help you dial from other locations as they come up. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register your LifeBook at a later time, you may click on "skip", and you will go directly to the condition of use page.
