When you press the F8 key to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA), nothing happens?

When you use any of the F1 through F12 keys during text mode setup, they do NOT work?

If you are using an office keyboard, the F1 through F12 keys are set to use different programmable functions.

To resolve this issue:

1. Press the F LOCK key on the office keyboard to cause the standard functions for the F1 through F12 keys to be used. 

2. Continue with Setup.
