Fujitsu LifeBook U772 - Boot Sequence

39 - Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook
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 will emit an audio warning and/or an error
message will be displayed. 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 LIFEBOOK will load your operating system.
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Ultrabook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Ultrabook’s BIOS.
When your Ultrabook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start
up your Ultrabook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Ultrabook, it goes
through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your
Ultrabook 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.
The boot sequence is executed when:
• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook.
• You restart your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook from [Settings]->[Power] menu.
• The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.
DO NOT CARRY THE LIFEBOOK AROUND WITH POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR SHOCKS; DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE LIFEBOOK.
N
EVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN
YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME.
