Windows Activation

Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual property rights and the reduction
of software piracy. Therefore Windows® 7 contains software-based product activation
technology. Your copy of Windows® 7 has already been activated for your PC.
Product activation is needed if some components of your PC have been replaced or you
use a non-authorized BIOS. If necessary you can activate Windows® 7 as often as re-
quested.
You will probably need to activate Windows® 7 by telephone even if Internet Activation is
available. This is due to the pre-activated SLP version which runs with a special Product-ID.
However, activation needs your unique Product ID which can be found on the Certificate
of Authenticity sticker on your PC housing. When you call, please inform your agent that
you are running an OEM-(SLP) version of the software.

Product Activation on your PC

In few cases it may still be required to activate Windows® 7. If an activation via the internet
is acknowledged with an error message you should perform the following steps.
1. Please select the telephone activation and click until the related screen appears.
2. Now click on change product key. A new window appears. Enter the product key.
This is located on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), on the computer's casing.
3. Acknowledge your entry and follow the instructions on the screen. Notify your Mi-
crosoft consultant, if necessary, that you have an OEM license in connection with
your PC.

BIOS Setup

In the BIOS set up (your PC's Basic Configuration) you have a number of parameter set-
tings available for your PC. For example, you can change the operating mode of the inter-
faces, security features or power management.
The PC is factory pre-set to guarantee optimum operation. Please
only modify the parameters if this is absolutely essential and if you
are familiar with the configuration possibilities.

Execution of the BIOS Setup

You can only execute the configuration program when starting the system. If the PC has
already been started exit Windows® and reboot. Prior to rebooting the PC press the key
"DEL" and keep it pressed until the message "Entering Setup" appears.
