BOOT SEQUENCE

Each time you power up or restart your
LifeBook E Series, it goes through a quiet boot
sequence that displays a Fujitsu logo until your
operating system is loaded. During quiet boot,
your notebook is performing a standard boot
sequence including a Power On Self Test
(POST). To access the ability to change the
drive that will be used for finding the operating
system, press the Esc key anytime while the
U s i n g Y o u r L i f e B o o k E S e r i e s
Fujitsu logo is displayed. To enter the BIOS
setup utility press the F2 key anytime while
the Fujitsu logo is displayed. When the boot
sequence is completed without a failure and
without a request for the setup utility, the
system displays the operating system's opening
screen. The boot sequence is executed when:
You turn on power to the system using the
power switch on the right side panel of your
notebook. (Figure 2-4 on page 16.)
You restart your computer from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box of the Start Menu.
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 at the same time and then
restart your computer from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
