Critical Point
If your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the BIOS
main menu will appear.
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Fujitsu LifeBook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves
your LifeBook’s BIOS. When your LifeBook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and
it needs to find instructions to start up your LifeBook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each
time you power up or restart your LifeBook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu
logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your LifeBook 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.
• You restart your LifeBook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
• The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
• You reset the system by pressing the three keys [CTRL+ALT+DEL].
Bios Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook. Your
BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change
the BIOS’ environment to operate your LifeBook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
• Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.
• System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:
1.
Turn on or restart your LifeBook.
2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of
the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.
3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to
review or alter the current settings.
BIOS Guide
A guide to your LifeBook’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support Web site at

series from the 30 pull-down menu. Once you have done that, select BIOS Guides from the pull-down
