1-14 Getting Started

Starting Up

The Qbe starts up with the Windows operating system It

automatically loads the OS after you turn it on. This process is

also called booting.

You have to install an OS if your dealer has not already installed it.

Follow this procedure to start up the Qbe.

1. Make sure the Qbe is connected to an AC power outlet or the

battery pack is charged.

2. Press the power button to turn on the Qbe. The power/suspend

indicator lights green to indicate that the power is on.

3. Each time the Qbe is turned on, it performs a Power-On Self Test

(POST). If POST detects any error, you will be asked to re-

configure the computer using the SCU program.

4. When POST successfully completes the check, the Qbe first tries to

boot from drive C, or the CD-ROM depending on the "Boot Device”

setting in the SCU program. (Default setting is Hard Disk C.)

During booting up, you can change the booting device by pressing [Space]

bar the moment the message “System will Boot from C:”, Press <Space> to

change Boot Device or Run Setup” appears at the bottom of the screen.

As a precaution, always boot from drive C. If you are expressly booting from

drive A, make sure the diskette is virus free.
