Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Your notebook 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 you
turn on the computer and before the Windows interface appears. If your computer is already on,
shut down your computer completely (power off) and restart it and then press the Del key to enter
the setup utility.
