Starting The Pc For The First Time - HP Vectra VL5 3 User Manual

Starting the PC for the First Time

# $ K +
Your PC's hard disk has preinstalled software. This software is initialized the first time you
start the PC. The software initialization takes approximately three minutes, and:
sets up the software in your language
sets up your software to use the hardware installed in your computer note that you can change the
settings after the software has been initialized.
To initialize your software:
1. Switch on the display and then the PC.
The PC performs a power-on self-test and displays a test screen.
If an error is detected during power on, press [F2] to start SETUP. Follow the screen messages to correct
the error.
Do NOT switch OFF the PC while the software is being initialized as this could cause unexpected
results during the initialization routine.
2. The software initialization routine starts. It displays the software license agreement, gives you
an opportunity to read Working in Comfort (ergonomic advice for computer users), and then asks you
questions about the PC. For example:
The name of the person who will use the computer and your company name. (If necessary, the
name of the user can be modified later.)
The current date and time.
The type of printer (for example, HP LaserJet 4M). This is shown on the front of the printer. You
also need to enter the connection used by the printer (for example, LPT1 for a parallel printer or
COM1 for a serial printer).
The model number of your display. The display's model number is shown on the cover of the
Installation Guide supplied with the display and on a label on the rear of the display.
3. While the initialization program is running, fill in your Warranty Registration card (in the back
of this manual).
When the initialization routine is finished, click on OK and the PC will restart.
4. When your PC has restarted:
Adjust the display screen's brightness and contrast to your needs. If the picture does not fill the
screen or is not centered, adjust it using the controls on the display. Refer to the display's
manual for details.
Set the keyboard to a comfortable position.
Your display may be different from the display shown here.
