Do not carry your LifeBook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your LifeBook.

If a fault is found, your LifeBook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 67 for more information) Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

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

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your Fujitsu LifeBook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Life- Book’s BIOS. When your LifeBook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your LifeBook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your LifeBook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your LifeBook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

■You turn on the power to your LifeBook.

■You restart your LifeBook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

■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].

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your LifeBook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

■Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.

■System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1.Turn on or restart your LifeBook.

2.Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

3.Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.
