Press the power button 

(1)

The power light 

(2)

 turns on. 

Step 5: Set up the software 

After the computer is turned on, it will go through software setup. Follow 

the on-screen instructions to set up the software. Note the following points: 

 

After you respond to the setup prompt, you must complete the entire 

setup process without interruption. Setup time varies. 

 

During software setup, the computer may pause periodically for 

several minutes. These normal pauses are indicated by an hourglass 

icon. 

CAUTION: 

If you are prompted to select an operating system language, 

choose carefully. On some models, the languages that you do not choose 

are deleted from the system and cannot be restored during software setup. 

NOTE: 

To register the operating system and the computer during software 

setup, the computer must be connected by an RJ-45 (network) cable to an 

existing network that has access to the Internet. If you do not register during 

software setup, you can do so at any time after software setup is complete.
