starting and stopping your workstation
Your workstation has pre-installed software; it is initialized the first
time you start the 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 workstation
1. Switch on the monitor before you start your workstation.
2. Start your workstation in one of these ways:
Press the power button on the front panel.
Press the keyboard space bar (multimedia keyboard models only).
The keyboard power-on feature will work only if the appropriate
system board switch is set (the default setting is enabled).
3. Type your password and press Enter to use the workstation. The
password prompt is displayed only if you have set a password in the
workstation’s Setup program.
initializing your software
NOTE Do NOT switch OFF the workstation while the software is being
initialized — this could cause unexpected results.
To initialize your software:
1. When the workstation is switched on, the software initialization
process starts. It displays the software license agreement, gives you
an opportunity to read Working in Comfort (ergonomics advice for
computer users), then asks questions about the workstation
2. When the initialization process has finished, click OK and the
workstation will restart.
