AMILO Mini Operating Manual, edition 2

Innovative technology

... and ergonomic design make your AMILO Mini a convenient and reliable companion.

The Microsoft Windows XP operating system is already installed and optimally conﬁgured on the

AMILO Mini. The device is ready for immediate use when you ﬁrst switch it on, it boots up very

quickly and offers a particularly long operating time because of its high capacity battery.

With the user-friendly "BIOS Setup Utility" you can control your notebook’s hardware and better

protect your system against unauthorised access by using the powerful password properties.

For information on the connections and controls of your notebook, please

refer to the enclosed manual "First-time setup".

Further information

You will ﬁnd the Windows XP drivers for your device on our Internet website. The factory

installation of your device does not support any other operating system. Fujitsu Siemens

Computers does not accept any liability whatsoever if any other operating system is used.

Software oriented components of these instructions refer to Microsoft products,

if they come within the scope of the delivery.

If you install other software products, pay attention to the operating

instructions of the manufacturer.
