Setting Up the Software
CAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers
are installed, install software only when the notebook is connected to
external power through the AC adapter. During the installation:
Do not plug the notebook from external.
Do not shut down the notebook or initiate Standby or Hibernation.
Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or
cord.
Installing Basic Software
When the notebook is connected to external power and turned on
for the first time, a prompt to set up the operating system and
other basic software is displayed on the screen.
Before responding to the prompt and proceeding through the on-
screen instructions, read the following caution and other
installation information.
After beginning the software setup, you must complete the
entire process without interruption. Setup time varies.
If you are not prompted to select a language, choose
carefully. On some models, the languages that you do not
choose are deleted from the system and cannot be restored
during the installation.
Regional settings and most other preferences that you may
select as you set up the basic software can be selected or
changed later, after the operating system is installed.
When you are prompted to accept the End User License
Agreement, you must choose Accept to continue the
software setup.
During setup, it is normal for some notebook models to pause
occasionally for up to 2 minutes and to restart several times.
These pauses and restarts occur only during initial software
setup. They will not occur during standard Windows startups.
