Setting Up Your Notebook Computer

Before setting up your notebook computer, we recommend you carefully read the

section 'Safety and Comfort' further in this guide. This section details the safety instruc-

tions you need to follow, and provides some tips regarding the ergonomics of your

workplace. Additional information on these subjects is available in the Online Docu-

mentation.

Booting for the First Time

Your notebook is easy to use right out of the box. For a successful installation proce-

dure, we recommend you use the AC power the first time you use your notebook

computer.

Note: unfold the first cover page of your Quick Start Guide for a complete

description of your notebook's ports and connectors.

Use the pictures on the inside cover page to locate the connectors and buttons and

follow these steps:

CAUTION: when using the AC adapter, make sure the power source falls

within the system's compatible range of 100-240 volts AC. Never use the AC

adapter if the voltage falls outside of this range (watch for this when travel-

ling to other countries).

Connect the AC adapter cable into the power port on the notebook.

Plug the AC adapter cable into the adapter and connect to a grounded wall outlet.

Locate the latch on the front of the LCD panel. Slide the latch and raise the panel

to open the notebook.

Press the power button to power on.

When you switch on the computer, the message "Windows XP - Please wait" is dis-

played.
