Starting Your

LifeBook Notebook

POWER ON

Suspend/Resume On button

The Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your notebook.

When you turn on your LifeBook note- book be sure you have a battery installed and charged, or that the AC or Auto/Air- line adapter is connected and has power.

Press the Suspend/Resume button (Figure 3-3). When you are done working you can either leave your Life- Book notebook in Suspend mode (See “Suspend/Resume Button” on page 33.), or you can turn it off (See “Power Off” on page 35.)

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

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LifeBook notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 62. 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 notebook will load your operating system.

G e t t i n g S t a r t e d

Never turn off your LifeBook notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed the next time you turn on your LifeBook notebook. See “Power On Self Test Mes- sages” on page 62.

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your LifeBook note- book’s BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This informa- tion is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook 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 notebook.

■You restart your notebook 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].

■TBD _ IS THERE NEW HDD PASSWORD? IF SO, ADD WARNING

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. 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 notebook.

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 notebook.

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.
