1 Setting Up and Using Your PC
Starting and Stopping Your PC
Starting the PC for the First Time
If your PC has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first time you
start the PC. The software initialization process takes a few minutes.
This process sets up the software in your language and sets up your
software to use the hardware installed in your PC (you can change the
settings after the software has been initialized).
Initializing Your Software
NOTE
Do NOT switch OFF the PC while the software is being initialized—this
could cause unexpected results.
To initialize your software:
1 Turn on the display first, and then the PC.
When the PC is switched on, the Vectra logo is displayed. The PC
performs the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). If you wish to view the
POST details and the summary screen, press
while the Vectra
logo is displayed.
If an error is detected during the POST, the PC will automatically
display the error. You may be prompted to press
to start the
Setup program to correct the error.
2 The software initialization routine starts. It displays the software
license agreement, and gives you an opportunity to read Working in
Comfort (ergonomic advice for PC users). The initialization routine
then asks questions about the PC, for example, the name of the
person who will use the PC and your company name.
3 While the initialization program is running, you can complete the
reply card that came with your PC.
4 When the initialization routine has finished, click on OK and the PC
will restart.
