Startup on Optiplex SX280 systems

I am helping my son set up 5 SX280 systems in his office.  When we turned the first one on it came up with a number of items or questions to which we were not yet ready to respond.  There seemed to be no way to exit this sequence (eg no X in upper right corner of screen) except to turn off the power source to the computer!  Any help on this would be appreciated since we find nothing in the quick reference guide.

It sounds like the Initial OS Setup, Welcoming you to the OS. You should and will need to walk through that to continue.
