Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 

1. Turn on or restart your notebook.

2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears

on the screen. This will open the main menu
of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current
settings displayed.

3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key 

to scroll through the other setup menus to review or

BIOS Guide

A guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online. 
Please visit our service and support Web site at 
www.8fujitsu.com. Once there, click on the Self Help 
Center link, and select your notebook series from the 
pull-down menu. Once you have done that, select the 
heading BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu and 
finally, select your specific unit’s BIOS number. If you 
are unsure of your notebook’s BIOS number, please
refer to your packing slip.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM WITH WINDOWS 98

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external 
devices and do not put a DVD/CD or floppy disk in
any drive until you have gone through the initial power 
on sequence.

When you turn on your notebook for the first time,
it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do 
nothing the system will read the hard drive for the
operating system software, flash the notebook configura-
tion information on the screen, and then the Windows 
98 Welcome will begin.

Designed to accommodate the needs of many users,
in many different countries, Windows 98 needs to be 
configured the first time you use it. Windows 98
has three parts: 

Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter 
custom information for your configuration file and 
setup your modem so that your notebook will be 
prepared to dial out. 

Registration: Easy online registration for Windows
98 with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook Series
notebook with Fujitsu PC Corporation. 

Windows License Agreement and Final Settings:
You have the opportunity to review the Windows 98 
License Agreement and then your configuration file 
will be generated.

Getting Started

Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill
in the information as directed. You will be asked for such 
items as the language you wish to use, the country in 
which you live, your first and last name, and about
how you dial out from where you will be using your 
notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current 
location information where you will be using your
notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line
and plan to register at a later time, you may click the 
Skip button, and you will go directly to the condition
of use page.

Once you have setup your notebook to dial out, 
Windows 98 will make a free telephone call which will 
test these settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be 
returned to the phone settings page where you may try 
to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings please 
contact Fujitsu PC Service and Support. (See Fujitsu PC 
Contact Information on page 3 for more information)
 If 
you would simply like to move on, and register at a later 
time, you may click the Skip button, and you will go 
directly to the Condition of Use page.

Registration

If your connection is successful, you will go to the
Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply 
enter the requested information, and then check the
box at the bottom to register your copy of Windows 98 
with Microsoft. Once you have finished, click the Next 
button to continue.

P O I N T

If your data security settings require it, you may be 
asked for a password before the BIOS main menu
will appear.

P O I N T

You may click Cancel at any time within this process to 
shutdown Windows 98. You may restart this process at 
any time in the future, but you must complete it in 
order to use your computer.
