- Starting Your LifeBook Notebook
Clicking on any of the fields will invoke the screen, information, or action described.
The Boot Menu can also be invoked by pressing the [F12] key when the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen.
BIOS Guide
A guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support website at
http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support
, then select User’s Guides under Online Support. Select
your Product, Series, and Model, then click [Go]. Under the Manuals tab, select the BIOS Guide.
Booting the System
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your 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 load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.
Depending upon your operating system (Windows Vista or XP edition), there is a different procedure for
stating your system for the first time, as outlined below.
Starting Windows Vista the First Time
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.
