- Starting Your STYLISTIC Hybrid Tablet
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your tablet is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your tablet’s BIOS. When your
tablet is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your tablet.
This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your tablet, it goes through a boot
sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your tablet 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 tablet.
•
You restart your tablet from
the [Settings]->[Power] menu
.
•
The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.
Hard Disk Drive Passwords
To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature is
managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See
BIOS Setup Utility
below for information about accessing the utility.
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility sets up the operating environment for your tablet. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal
operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your tablet.
