system is successfully installed. Doing so may cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing
correctly.
Installing and Customizing Windows XP
Workstations
If your unit is a Windows–preinstalled workstation, follow the instructions in this section to setup up your
OS and software.

Starting up the Operating System

The first time you turn on the workstation, the operating system is installed automatically. This process takes
about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION: After the automatic installation has started, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL
THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the workstation during the installation process may damage the
software that runs the workstation or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE: After you have selected a language during initial boot of the OS, the language will be locked in
by the UIA sector of their HDD. If the system is restored for some reason, the restore CD will check for the
language stored in the UIA and will restore only the original preinstalled language. In the case where a
new HDD is installed and the there is no UIA or the UIA is empty, then the Recovery CD will install any
language requested. If the wrong OS is accidently unbundled during the initial boot, technical support will
have to be contacted to get a "key" to unlock it and then you will be able to restore the OS to the correct
language.
A language selection is not required for the 64-bit operating system.
For complete operating system installation and configuration instructions, refer to the operating system
documentation that was provided with the workstation. Additional information is available in the online
help after you install the operating system.
