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 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.
• 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

MPORTANT: DURING THE SETUP PROCEDURE, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY, PRESS ANY
