- Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
When you power on your STYLISTIC, 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 STYLISTIC Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/or
an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 62. 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 Tablet PC will load your operating system.
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s BIOS. When
your STYLISTIC Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start
up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes
through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your
Tablet PC 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 STYLISTIC Tablet PC.
• You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
• The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.
Hard Disk Drive Passwords
To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature is
managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See
BIOS Setup Utility
below for information about accessing the utility.
NEVER TURN OFF YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED
WHEN YOU TURN YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC ON THE NEXT TIME.
