When you power on your STYLISTIC, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your STYLISTIC Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See "Power On Self Test Messages" on page 62. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the POST, your Tablet PC will load your operating system. NEVER TURN OFF YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN YOU TURN YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC ON THE NEXT TIME. See "Power On Self Test Messages" on page 62. Boot Sequence The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC's BIOS. When your STYLISTIC Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system's opening screen. The boot sequence is executed when: • You turn on the power to your STYLISTIC Tablet PC. • You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows Shut Down dialog box. • The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application. 36 - Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
