If you have made a major change to your system, such as

adding a disk drive, the computer may take a few minutes to

complete power-on diagnostics the first time you turn it on.

When the system has successfully completed its diagnostics,

you see the following prompt:

Press

Del to start SETUP

Note

If your computer’s configuration does not match the

information stored in the computer’s CMOS RAM (defined

through the SETUP program), you see an error message.

Press

to run the SETUP program to correct the

information. (See Chapter 2 of the

Setup Guide

for

instructions.)

If you do not want to run SETUP, do nothing. After about five

seconds your computer either loads the operating system from

the hard disk or the diskette in drive A or, if you’ve set a

System Access password, it prompts you for your password.

When you enter the correct password, your computer loads the

operating system.

What happens next depends on how your computer is set up.

If your system is configured to automatically load a program

(such as Microsoft@ Windows@ or a word processing program),

you see the first menu or screen display of that program. If not,

you may see the operating system prompt, such as C : \> or A>.

See your application program manuals for further instructions.
