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
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).
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.
7. The "Thank you" screen follows and an offer for free
Norton is extended. Following are several screens
while Windows checks the system performance.
8. Windows will then boot up for the first time.
If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.
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.
■
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.
