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.
STARTING WINDOWS VISTA THE FIRST TIME
The first time you initialize your Windows
Vista system, the screen will be blank for
approximately two minutes. This is
normal. After initialization, a "Set Up
Windows" dialog box will appear.
Important: During the setup procedure, do
not disconnect the power supply, press any
buttons, or use any peripheral devices such
as a mouse, keyboard, or remote control.
In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits
from the Windows Vista operating system, it should be
registered the first time you use it.
1. First of all, you will need to read and accept the End
User License Agreements (EULAs).
■
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.

ically" screen in which the default choice is "Use

while Windows checks the system performance.
8. Windows will then boot up for the first time.
