Turning on power
Turn on the monitor and other external devices first, and then turn on the
computer. When the power-on self-test (POST) is finished, the IBM logo
window closes. If your computer has preinstalled software, the software
installation program starts.
If you experience any problems during startup, see Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting and diagnostics” on page 17 and Chapter 5, “Getting
information, help, and service” on page 25.
Finishing the software installation
Important
Read the license agreements carefully before using the programs on this
computer. These agreements detail your rights, obligations, and
warranties for the software on this computer. By using these programs,
you accept the terms of the agreements. If you do not accept the
agreements, do not use the programs. Instead, promptly return the entire
computer for a full refund.
After you start the computer for the first time, follow the instructions on the
screen to complete the software installation. If you do not complete the
software installation the first time the computer is turned on, unpredictable
results might occur. When the installation is complete, click Access IBM on
your desktop to learn more about your computer.
Completing important tasks
After you have set up your computer, perform the following tasks, which will
save you time and trouble later:
v
Create a Recovery Repair diskette. Your computer has a built-in program, the
Product Recovery program, that restores the operating system. Normally,
this program can be accessed with the F11 key during computer startup. If
the F11 prompt becomes unusable or not visible, the
Recovery Repair diskette
will restore access to the Product Recovery program. See “Creating a
Recovery Repair diskette” on page 14.
v
Create an Enhanced Diagnostics diskette. The Enhanced Diagnostics tool can
isolate hardware problems and is part of the Product Recovery program.
Making an
Enhanced Diagnostics diskette ahead of time assures you use of
the Enhanced Diagnostics tool if the Product Recovery program becomes
inaccessible. See “Creating an IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette” on
page 20.
