Software Data Security Features
The operating system and some applications
have security features that are independent of
the built-in hardware protection features that
are controlled from the BIOS. See your software
documentation for more information about
these features.
C A U T I O N
Make sure you memorize your passwords
for both hardware and software. If you
forget, you may not be able to use your
notebook, and you will have to contact
your service provider and arrange to
have them reset the hardware system
password. See your software manuals for
what to do if you forget your software
security password(s).

Software security feature passwords may
not be the same as the hardware security
passwords. Be sure you know which fea-
tures are controlled from software and
which from hardware or you may lock
yourself out of your own data or lock
up your hardware and not be able to
operate your notebook.
Starting Your Notebook for
the First Time
Booting the System
The first time that you turn on your notebook
you will need to attach your AC Adapter as the
battery is not charged when it arrives. We
strongly recommend that you do not attach any
other external devices and do not put any CD
or floppy disk in the drives until you have gone
through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your notebook for the first
time it will p erform a power on self test and
display some status information on the screen
with a message:
Press <F2> for Setup .
If you do nothing the system will read the hard
drive for the operating system software and
the Windows 95 Setup Screen will appear.
(See Power On on pages 22–23 for additional
help.) You will then be stepped through the
condition of useand operating system selection
process. You must complete this initial process
before you will be able to use your notebook.
C A U T I O N
If you have purchased a system which
allows you to use a choice of operating
systems, the Operating System selection
can only be made once. You cannot
change your mind, the option will never
be available again.
