Setting Up and Using Your PC Workstation

Starting and Stopping Your PC Workstation

Starting Your PC Workstation for the First Time

If your PC Workstation has preinstalled software, it is initialized the first

time you start the PC Workstation. The software initialization process takes

a few minutes. 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).

Starting Your PC Workstation

1Before you start your PC Workstation, first switch on the display.

2Start your PC Workstation in one of these ways:

•Press the power button on the front panel.

•Press the keyboard space bar (multimedia keyboard models only).

The keyboard power-on feature will work only if the appropriate

system board switch is set (default setting = enabled).

When you switch on the computer, it carries out the Power-On-Self-

Test (POST) while the PC Workstation’s logo is displayed. If you wish to

view the details of this test, press . If there is an error in the POST,

the error will automatically be displayed.

3If you have set a password in the PC Workstation’s Setup program, the

password prompt displays after the POST has completed. If the

Password prompt is displayed, type your password and press

to be able to use the PC Workstation.

PC Workstation.

3While the initialization process is running, you can complete the

Warranty Registration card that came with this manual.

4When the initialization process has finished, click OK and the

PC Workstation will restart.

Creating an Emergency Repair Disk

During the initialization of your software, it is very important that you

create an Emergency Repair Disk for the operating system, when

prompted. HP recommends that you use new diskettes for this purpose.

For more information on how to create these diskettes, refer to the

documentation that came with your application software or operating

system.
