NOTE
If you are not starting your PC for the first time, go directly to "Starting
Your PC", on page 15.
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 computer (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 a Power-On-Self-Test (POST). Press
if you want to
view the POST details in the HP Summary Screen.
If an error is detected during the Power-On-Self-Test, 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 computer users). The initialization
routine then asks questions about the PC. For example, it will ask the
name of the person who will use the PC and your company name. (If
necessary, the name of the user can be modified later.)
3 While the initialization program is running, you can complete the
reply card provided with your PC.
