Starting Your Personal Workstation for the First Time
If your Personal Workstation has preinstalled software, it is initialized
the first time you start the Personal Workstation. The software
initialization process takes a few minutes. This process sets up the
software in your language and sets up your software to use the hardware
installed in your computer (you can change the settings after the
software has been initialized).
Starting Your Personal Workstation
1. Before you start your Personal Workstation, turn on the display. If the
Personal Workstation is already turned on, save your data and exit
all programs, then restart the Personal Workstation.
2. Start your Personal Workstation in one of these ways:
Press the power button on the front panel.
Press the keyboard space bar. The keyboard power-on feature will
work only if Space-bar is enabled and you have a HP keyboard.
When you switch on the computer, it carries out the Power-On-Self-Test
(POST) while the HP VISUALIZE Workstation’s logo is displayed. If you
wish to view the POST details, press Esc to get the HP Summary Screen.
If there is an error in the POST, the error will automatically be
displayed.
