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.
The first time you initialize your 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.
