3.1 Completing the Windows Mini-setup
When starting the Cedex HiRes Control Unit for the very fi rst time, a Windows mini-setup may run. The
setup allows the user tweak the fi nal settings of the new system (e.g., selection of time zone, keyboard etc.). The
mini-setup dialogs should be self-explanatory. The following list provides some additional information to get
through the process. Note that the order of screens may be different and some topics may not appear on your
system:
Roche technical services strongly recommends not changing the regional settings. Changes in the regional
settings may result in problems with date and time format within the Cedex HiRes Software.
You may be required to enter the 25-digit product code. It is located on the computer.
Protect your PC: Roche technical services recommends turning on automatic updates if the Control Unit is
permanently connected to the internet via a LAN. Otherwise, click no, not right now.
Computer name: The Control Unit name has already been set to a unique name. However, your company
might enforce a different naming convention. If you are not sure, leave it as it is. The name can be changed
at any time later on.
Computer description: This is a purely informational fi eld that helps to identify the Control Unit in a net-
work. You may want to enter a short descriptive text. Again, this setting can be adjusted later.
If asked to choose an Administrator account password, be sure to make a note of the password and store it
in a safe place.
If asked to choose whether to add the computer to a domain, Roche technical services recommends choos-
ing No. Your local network policy may require a different strategy, but you are free to join a domain any time
later on.
Register with Microsoft: It is not necessary to register your Windows copy with Microsoft, so No can be
safely chosen. Note that registration is not activation (see below).
Internet account setup: The operating system has been confi gured for access to the Internet over a Local
Area Network (LAN). Roche technical services recommends clicking No and proceeding to the next step.
When the mini-setup has fi nished, the Control Unit will automatically restart and present the login screen
after a short while.
Some Control Units may require immediate Windows activation. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Roche technical services recommends activation over the internet if the Control Unit is already connected
to a LAN. However it may be necessary to activate Windows XP via telephone if the Control Unit is not yet
connected to the internet.
