Starting Your PC for the First Time
If your PC has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first time you
start the PC. This process sets up the software in your language and
sets up your software to use the hardware installed in your computer
(you can change the settings after the software has been initialized).
Initializing Your Software
NOTE Do NOT switch OFF the PC while the software is being initialized—this
could cause unexpected results.
1 Turn on the monitor first, and then the PC.
When the PC is switched on, the Vectra Logo is displayed. The PC
performs a Power-On-Self-Test (POST). Press
if you want to
view the POST details in the HP Summary Screen.
If an error is detected during the Power-On-Self-Test, the PC will
automatically display the error. You may be prompted to press
to start the Setup program to correct the error.
2 The software initialization routine starts.
3 After the initialization routine has finished, click on OK and the PC
will restart.
