Starting Your Notebook
Power On
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to
turn on your LifeBook P Series notebook from
its off state. Once you have connected your AC
adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion
battery, you can power on your notebook.
When you turn on your notebook be sure
you have a power source. This means that
a battery is installed and charged, or that
the AC adapter is connected and has power.
Press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to
start your system. When you are done working
you can either leave your notebook in Standby
mode, or you can turn it off.
When the system display is closed, the
Suspend/Resume button is disabled. This
feature prevents the system from being
accidentally powered up when not in use.
When you Power On your notebook, it will
perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check
the internal parts and configuration for correct
functionality. If a fault is found, your notebook
will emit an audio warning and/or an error
message will be displayed. Depending on the
nature of the problem, you may be able to
continue by starting the operating system or by
entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the
settings.
After satisfactory completion of the Power On
Self Test (POST), your notebook will load your
operating system.
Never turn off your notebook during the
Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause
an error message to be displayed when you
turn your notebook on the next time.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is
termed the Bootup sequence and involves your
notebook's BIOS. When your notebook is first
turned on, the main system memory is empty,
and it needs to find instructions to start up your
notebook. This information is in the BIOS
program. Each time you power up or restart your
notebook, it goes through a boot sequence
which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating
system is loaded. During booting, your notebook
is performing a standard boot sequence
including a Power On Self Test (POST). When
the boot sequence is completed without a failure
and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility,
the system displays the operating system's
opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
• You turn on the power to your notebook.
• You restart your notebook from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
• The software initiates a system restart.
Example: When you install a new application.
• You reset the system by pressing the three
keys [Ctrl+Alt+Del].
