Quick Setup & Getting Started
Installing and Customizing the Software
NOTE:
If the computer was shipped with Microsoft Windows Vista
loaded, you will be prompted to register the computer with HP Total
Care before installing the operating system. You will see a brief
movie followed by an online registration form. Fill out the form, click
the Begin button, and follow the instructions on the screen.
CAUTION:
Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to
the computer until the operating system is successfully installed.
Doing so may cause errors and prevent the operating system from
installing properly.
NOTE:
Be sure there is a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance at the back
of the unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
Installing the Operating System
The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed
automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on
which operating system is being installed. Carefully read and follow the
instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION:
Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT
TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS
COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation
process may damage the software that runs the computer or prevent
its proper installation.
NOTE:
If the computer shipped with more than one operating
system language on the hard drive, the installation process could
take up to 60 minutes.
If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some
portions of this documentation do not apply. Additional information is
available in online help after you install the operating system.
