installation information.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent file corruption and be sure that the correct device
drivers install, during software setup:
■
Run the notebook on external power provided through an
AC adapter or a DC cable, not on battery power.
■
Do not unplug the notebook from the electrical outlet.
■
Do not shut down the notebook.
■ After beginning the software setup, you must complete the
entire process without interruption. Setup time varies.
■ If you are prompted to select a language, choose carefully.
The languages that you do not choose are deleted from the
system and cannot be restored during the installation.
■ When you are prompted to accept the End User License
Agreement, you must choose Accept to continue the
software setup.
✎
During setup, it is normal for some notebook models to pause
occasionally for up to 2 minutes and to restart several times.
These pauses and restarts occur only during initial software setup.
They will not occur during standard Windows startups.
