Installing and Customizing the
Software
If your computer was not shipped with a Windows® operating system, some portions of this
documentation do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you install the
operating system.
CAUTION:
Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the computer until the operating
system is successfully installed. Doing so may cause errors and prevent the operating system from
installing properly.
NOTE:
Be sure there is a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance at the back of the unit and above the monitor
to permit the required airflow.
Installing the Windows operating system
The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed automatically. This process
takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the
installation.
CAUTION:
After the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER
UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process may
damage the software that runs the computer or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE:
If the computer shipped with more than one operating system language on the hard drive,
the installation process could take up to 60 minutes.
