Starting Your

LifeBook Notebook

POWER ON

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on

your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you

have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal

Lithium ion battery, you can power on your LifeBook

notebook. (See figure 2-4 on page 6 for location)

When you turn on your LifeBook

notebook be sure you have a power

source. This means that at least one

battery is installed and charged, or that the

AC or Auto/Airline adapter is connected

and has power.

To turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state,

press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above

the keyboard. When you are done working you can

either leave your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode,

(See Suspend Mode on page 32 for more information), or

you can turn it off (See Power Off on page 33 for more

information).

Do not carry your LifeBook notebook

around with the power on or subject it to

shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging

your notebook.

When you power on your LifeBook, it will perform a

Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and

configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found,

your LifeBook notebook will emit an audio warning and/

or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self

Test Messages on page 64 for more information)

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able

to continue by starting the operating system or by

entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test

(POST), your notebook will load your operating system.

Never turn off your LifeBook notebook

during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it

will cause an error message to be displayed

when you turn your LifeBook notebook on

(See Power On Self Test

the next time.

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting up your notebook is called

the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook's

BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on,

the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find

instructions to start up your notebook. This information

is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or

restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence

which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system

is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing

a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test

(POST). If the 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 notebook.

You restart your notebook 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 [CTRL+ALT+DEL].

■

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the

operating environment for your LifeBook notebook.

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 notebook.

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 notebook.

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.
