- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC

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 Tablet PC will emit

an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on

page 118. 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 POST, your Tablet PC will load your operating system.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet

PC’s BIOS. When your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and

it needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time

you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until

your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC 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.

DO NOT CARRY YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC AROUND WITH THE POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO

SHOCKS OR VIBRATION, AS YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR TABLET PC.

EVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT

WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC ON

THE NEXT TIME. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 118.
