LifeBook P1600 Series Notebook

Starting Your LifeBook

POWER ON

The Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your

LifeBook P1600 Series notebook from its off state. Once

you have connected your AC adapter or charged the

internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your

notebook. (See figure 2-4 on page 9 for location)

Slide the Power/Suspend/Resume button to the right to

start your system. When you are done working you can

either leave your system in Standby mode, (See “Standby

Mode” on page 34), or you can turn it off. See “Power

Off” on page 36

When you Power On your system, 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 system will emit an audio warning and/or

an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self

Test Messages” on page 58 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

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed

the Bootup sequence and involves your system’s BIOS.

When your 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

system, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a

Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded.

During booting, your system 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 notebook.

■

You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut

Down dialog box.

■

The software initiates a system restart (e.g., when you

install a new application).

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the

operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is

set at the factory for normal operating conditions, there-

fore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environ-

ment to operate your system.

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 notebook.

2. Press any key or click your mouse 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 system’s BIOS is available online. Please

visit our service and support website at http://

www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there,

select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu

for your notebook series. If you are unsure of your

system’s BIOS number, refer to your packing slip.

When you turn on your notebook, be sure

you have a power source. This means that

a battery is installed and charged, or that a

power adapter is connected and has

power.

When the system display is closed, the

Suspend/Resume button is disabled. This

feature prevents the system from being

accidentally powered up when not in use.

Never turn off your notebook during the

Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause

an error message to be displayed when

you turn your system on the next time.

See

“Power On Self Test Messages” on page 58

If your data security settings require it, you

may be asked for a password before the

BIOS main menu will appear.
