BIOS Guide
A guide to your notebook's BIOS is available online.
Please visit our service and support Web site at:
http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Select
Notebooks under User's Guides. Select LifeBook BIOS
Guides from the pull-down menu for your LifeBook
series. If you are unsure of your notebook's BIOS
number, refer to your packing slip.
Do not carry your LifeBook notebook
around with the power on or subject it to
shock. If your data security settings require
it, you may be asked for a password
before the BIOS main menu will appear.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM

We strongly recommend that you do not attach any
external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in any 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.
Registering Windows with Microsoft
In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits
from the Windows operating system, it should be
registered the first time you use it.
After you receive the Windows Welcome screen, you will
be prompted to enter registration information in the
following order.
First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User
License Agreements (EULAs). After accepting the
EULAs, you will be asked if you want to enable the Auto-
matic Updates feature. Acceptance of this feature is
recommended because it allows your system to be
updated automatically whenever an important change
becomes available for your notebook.

If you reject the terms of the license
■
agreement you will be asked to review
the license agreement for information
on returning Windows or to shut down
your LifeBook notebook.
You cannot use your notebook until you
■
have accepted the License Agreement. If
you stop the process your notebook will
return to the beginning of the Windows
Welcome Process, even if you shut your
notebook down and start it up again.
Several additional windows will appear, prompting you
to enter a name and description for your computer, an
Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the
instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the infor-
mation as directed.
You will then be automatically connected to the Internet,
if you have an appropriate connection available. If an
automatic connection is not possible, you will be asked
about how you dial out from where you will be using
your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a
phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may
click the Skip button.
Once you are connected to the Internet, you will be
asked if you wish to continue with the registration. If
you select Yes you will then enter your name and
address, and email address if desired. Click Next to
complete registration.
Windows Product Activation
Windows XP has already been pre-installed and pre-
activated when you receive the system.
In the event you need to re-install Windows XP (e.g.,
after making significant configuration changes), it may
be necessary to reactivate the operating system. To do so,
use the following information.
After re-installing Windows XP, you have thirty days to
■
activate it. Product activation ensures that you are the
authorized owner of the Windows XP operating sys-
tem.
Until you activate the product, you will be prompted
■
whenever you turn on the system that activation is
required. Follow the on-screen directions to activate
your operating system. The product only needs to be
activated once, unless significant hardware changes are
made to your system.
Note that Product Activation and Registration are not
■
the same thing. Registration is optional, whereas Prod-
uct Activation is a required procedure.
