Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting up your notebook is termed the “bootup sequence” and involves your

notebook’s Basic Input-Output System (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). 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 LifeBook notebook.

• You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

• The software initiates a system restart, such as when you install a new application.

Hard Disk Drive Passwords

To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive. This feature

is managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See BIOS Setup Utility below for information about

accessing the utility.

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:

REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORDS. IF YOU SET AND FORGET YOUR USER AND MASTER HARD DISK

PASSWORDS, FUJITSU COMPUTER SYSTEMS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESET IT. YOU MAY LOSE DATA AND

HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR SYSTEM BOARD OR HARD DISK DRIVE.
