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.
