The computer displays copyright information and then

performs a series of power-on diagnostics that check the circuit

boards, memory, ports, keyboard, and disk drives. It displays

several messages, including this prompt:

Press Delete to run SETUP

You may also see an error message followed by this prompt:

Press

to resume or Delete to run SETUP

If this happens, press to run the SETUP program and

check your system configuration. See Chapter 2 for a complete

description of the SETUP program.

While the computer finishes its testing, it displays several

screens showing your system configuration. If necessary, press

the button on the keyboard to view the configuration

screens. Then press any key to continue the startup process.

Because your computer was set up at the factory, the

configuration listing should be accurate, but you will want to

run SETUP to enter the correct time and date. Additionally, if

you have changed the computer’s setup so that this information

does not match your configuration, be sure to run SETUP

Depending on your configuration, your computer may come

with MSDOS® and Microsoft® Windows® installed on the hard

disk. If your computer comes with MS-DOS, it starts up in

MS-DOS as soon as it completes the power-on diagnostics.

If you plan to use another operating system, such as OS/2,®

Unix®, or Xenix® install it now. See the documentation that

came with it for installation instructions. (Although this manual

includes sample MS-DOS commands, it does not explain how

to use your operating system; see your operating system

manuals for complete instructions.)
