69 - Starting Your LifeBook Tablet PC
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet
PC’s BIOS. When your LifeBook Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it
needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time
you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until
your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC is performing a standard boot sequence
including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and
without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
•
You turn on the power to your LifeBook Tablet PC.
• You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
•
The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.
Hard Disk Drive Passwords
To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This
feature is managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See
BIOS Setup Utility below for information about
accessing the utility.
