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.

Depending upon your operating system (Windows Vista or XP edition), there is a different procedure for stating your system for the first time, as outlined below.

STARTING WINDOWS VISTA THE FIRST TIME

The first time you initialize your Windows

Vista system, the screen will be blank for

approximately two minutes. This is normal. After initialization, a “Set Up Windows” dialog box will appear.

Important: During the setup procedure, do not disconnect the power supply, press any buttons, or use any peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or remote control.

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

1.First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs).

■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.

2.You will be prompted to enter your User Name and Password and you will be given a chance to select an icon for your account.

3.The next screen asks for a Computer Name and allows you to choose a desktop background.

4.You will next see a "Help protect Windows automat- ically" screen in which the default choice is "Use recommended settings”. The other two choices are "Install important updates only" and "Ask me later". Select from the three choices.

5.On the next screen set your time and date settings.

6.You will next see the "Select your computer's current location" screen. Make your selection from Home, Work (Default), and Public location.
