Initial System Checkout; Making Backups Of System Software - Acer Extensa 670 Service Manual

2.8. Initial System Checkout

After you've installed all internal options and external cabling, you're ready for system checkout and
software configuration.
To check out the system, press the power button on the left side of the notebook which initiates self
test. During self test execution, the computer checks the operation of all key hardware including
memory and CPU (and displays copyright and version number data during test execution).
Upon successful conclusion of self test, the computer automatically loads its operating system and
windows environment. If self test fails to complete and an error message is displayed, try powering
down the computer for a couple of minutes and turning power back on to repeat self test. If the error
message persists, refer to Chapter 5 for troubleshooting information.

2.9. Making Backups of System Software

Immediately after completion of the installation procedures, make backups of all software. In the
event of a disk problem, restore the system using the System Files Recovery disk and the set of
backup disks.
Note: Refer to the Extensa Series Notebook Computer User's Guide for additional information.
