Do not carry your notebook around
with the power on or subject it to shocks
or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.
When powered On, your notebook carries out a
Power On Self Test (POST) to check the inter-
nal parts and configuration. If a fault is found a
short series of beeps will sound and/or an error
message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting
on pages 128-130) Depending on the nature of
the problem you may be able to continue by
starting the operating system or by entering
the setup utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the Power On
Self Test (POST) your notebook will load your
operating system. (See Boot Menu on pages 83-
84 to see which kind of disk will be the source.)

Booting the System
We strongly recommend that you not attach
any other external devices and do not put any
CD or floppy disk in your drives until you have
gone through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your notebook for the first
time it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen.
If you do nothing the system will read the hard
drive for the operating system software, flash
the notebook configuration information on the
screen, and then the Windows 98 Setup Wizard
Screen will appear. You will then be stepped
through the condition of use process. You must
complete this initial process before you will be
able to use your notebook. (If you wish to
access the BIOS setup utility before you go
through the condition of use process you must
press the F2 key while the Fujitsu logo is still
visible. If you press the Esc key while the
Fujitsu logo is still present you will get a dialog
box which will allow you to select which drive
is to be used for finding the operating system.)
If you turn off the power without using the on
screen Cancel button you will get an error
message when you start your notebook again.
Condition of Use Process
The first time you start your notebook you
must confirm your acceptance of the copyright
limitations for your pre-installed software.
After you complete the Condition of Use
process these screens will not appear again.
There are 6 screens to read carefully and
respond to.
