Hardware Setup
During hardware setup, you will
1. Identify the hardware required for setup.
2. Insert the battery pack into the notebook, so the battery
can
begin to charge as soon as the notebook is connected
to
external power.
3. Connect the modem, so you will be able to register the
notebook and operating system during software setup.
4. Connect the notebook to external power.
5. Open the notebook.
6. Turn on the notebook.
When the notebook is turned on, you will be prompted to
begin
software setup.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers
are installed:
■ Do not set up the notebook for the first time while the notebook is
docked in an optional Expansion Base. (The Expansion Base can
be used only with select models.)
■ During the hardware and software setup procedures:
❏ Do not unplug the notebook from external power.
❏ Do not shut down the notebook or initiate standby
or
hibernation.
❏ Do connect your modem as instructed in “Step 3: Connect the
Modem” later in this chapter, but do not insert, remove,
connect, or disconnect any other device, cable, or cord.
