If you have made a major change to your system, such as
adding a disk drive, the computer may take a few minutes to
complete power-on diagnostics the first time you turn it on.
When the system has successfully completed its diagnostics,
you see the following prompt:
Press
Del to start SETUP
Note
If your computer’s configuration does not match the
information stored in the computer’s CMOS RAM (defined
through the SETUP program), you see an error message.
Press to run the SETUP program to correct the
information. (See Chapter 2 of the
Setup Guide
for
instructions.)
If you do not want to run SETUP, do nothing. After about five
seconds your computer either loads the operating system from
the hard disk or the diskette in drive A or, if you’ve set a
System Access password, it prompts you for your password.
When you enter the correct password, your computer loads the
operating system.
What happens next depends on how your computer is set up.
If your system is configured to automatically load a program
(such as Microsoft@ Windows@ or a word processing program),
you see the first menu or screen display of that program. If not,
you may see the operating system prompt, such as C : \> or A>.
See your application program manuals for further instructions.
