Getting Started

Starting Your

LifeBook Notebook

POWER ON

Suspend/Resume On button

The 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 notebook.

Figure 3-3. Pressing the suspend/resume button

Press the Suspend/Resume button (Figure 3-3). When

you are done working you can either leave your Life-

Book notebook in Suspend mode (See “Suspend Mode”

on page 27.), or you can turn it off (See “Power Off” on

page 28.)

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook, 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 84.

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 LifeBook note-

book’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 informa-

tion 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). 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. 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 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 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.

When you turn on your LifeBook note-

book be sure you have a battery installed

and charged, or that the AC or Auto/Air-

line adapter is connected and has power.

Do not carry your LifeBook notebook

around with the power on or subject it to

shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging

your notebook.

Suspend/resume button

Never turn off your LifeBook notebook

during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it

will cause an error message to be displayed

the next time you turn on your LifeBook

notebook. See “Power On Self Test Mes-

sages” on page 84.
