A guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support Web site at http:// www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there, select Support, then select Notebooks under User’s Guides. Select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull- down menu for your LifeBook series. If you are unsure of the notebook BIOS number, refer to the packing slip.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Registering Windows with Microsoft

In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits from the Windows operating system, it should be registered the first time you use it.

After you receive the Windows Welcome screen, you will be prompted to enter registration information in the following order.

First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs). After accepting the EULAs, you will be asked if you want to enable the Automatic Updates feature. Acceptance of this feature is recommended because it allows your system to be updated automatically whenever an important change becomes available for your notebook.

■If you reject the terms of the license agreement you will be asked to review the license agreement for information on returning Windows or to shut down your LifeBook notebook.

■You cannot use your notebook until you have accepted the License Agreement. If you stop the process your notebook will return to the beginning of the Windows Welcome Process, even if you shut your notebook down and start it up again.

Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the infor- mation as directed.

You will then be automatically connected to the Internet, if you have an appropriate connection avail- able. If an automatic connection is not possible, you will be asked about how you dial out from where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the [Skip] button.

Once you are connected to the Internet, you will be asked if you wish to continue with the registration. If you select [Yes] you will then enter your name and address, and email address if desired. Click [Next] to complete registration.
