Step 6: Turn On the Personal Computer and Install the Operating System
Press the power button to turn on the personal computer. Refer to “Step 2:
Identify Rear Panel Components and Confirm Voltage Setting” on page 2 for

which operating system is being installed. Carefully read and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.

might damage the software that runs the Personal Computer.
When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the Windows installation
process is complete.
Customizing the Monitor Display
You can manually select or change the monitor brand, model, refresh rates,
color, resolution, and power management settings. Select the Display icon in
the Windows Control Panel to change display settings, or refer to the online
documentation provided with the graphics controller utility.
Protecting Your Software
To protect your software from loss or damage, you should keep a backup copy
of all system software, applications, and related files stored on your hard
drive. Refer to your operating system or backup utility documentation for
instructions on making backup copies of your data files.
Compaq Restore CD
Along with the operating system CD, the Compaq Restore CD enables you to
recover the original operating system, Internet browser, and NIC or modem
drivers. This can be extremely helpful in the event of hard drive failure or
corruption. Additional support software for specific models may be
downloaded from www.compaq.com/support. To use the Compaq Restore
CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer. Carefully
read and follow all instructions that appear on the screen.
