Accessing the Computer Setup Menu

NOTE: Computer Setup is built into the reprogrammable system ROM on the Compaq Professional
Workstation AP550 and is shipped in English only. Computer Setup is also available in 12 additional
languages that can be accessed from the Computer Setup utility menu.
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.
NOTE: Do not restart the workstation while in Windows NT Workstation. Instead, exit Windows NT
Workstation by clicking Start, Shut Down, Restart the computer .
2. When the F10 = Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press F10.
NOTE: You have approximately 30 seconds to press F10. If you do not press F10 during this time, you
must restart the workstation again to access the utility.
NOTE: The F12 key initiates Network Service Boot for Remote System Installation.
The Computer Setup menu appears with the following menu headings: File, Storage,
Security, Power, and Advanced. See the Computer Setup table (Table 4-12) for a
description of the features available in Computer Setup.
3. Press the arrow keys or the Tab key to select the option you want, and then press Enter.
(To return to the main menu, press Esc.)
4. To apply and save changes, select File, then Save Changes and Exit. If you selected an
option that automatically restarted the workstation, changes were applied at that time. If
you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Ignore Changes and Exit. If
you have already applied changes you now want to eliminate, select Set Defaults and Exit.
This option will restore the original system defaults.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to configure new options and drivers in the operating system after they have been
configured by the Setup utility.
