Checking Your Configuration
It is recommended that you check the configuration of your computer each time you install, remove or upgrade
accessories. To view your computer's current configuration, press the
key just after your computer is turned on
and while the computer's logo is being displayed during the POST.
The text-based POST screen replaces the computer's logo, displaying the system components and devices. Press the
Pause/Break key to "freeze" the screen. When you have finished reading the POST screen, press any key to continue.
After the POST screen disappears, the Boot Menu is displayed.
You can either choose to exit the menu by pressing the
key, or enter the Boot Menu to modify the device for the
current boot. How to modify the current boot device priority is described in
"Changing the Boot Device Priority for the
current boot:" on page 25
