Chapter 4 The BIOS Setup program

The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your M1022 Booktop's
BIOS (basic input/output system). Your M1022 Booktop is already properly configured and
optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration
problems, you may need to run it.
4.1 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Your M1022 Booktop has a BIOS setup utility which allows you to configure important
system settings, including settings for various optional functions of the computer. This
chapter explains how to use the BIOS setup utility.
BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup Utility allows you to configure your computer's basic settings. When you turn
your computer on, the system reads this information to initialize the hardware so that it can
operate correctly. Use the BIOS setup utility to change your computer's start-up configuration.
For example, you can change the security and power management routines of your system.
Starting the BIOS Setup Utility
You can only enter the BIOS setup utility as the computer is booting, that is between the time

already on, shut down your computer completely (power off) and restart it and then press the
F2 key to enter the setup utility.
