If You Have a Problem
Power - for selecting power-management modes to reduce the amount of energy used after specified
•
periods of inactivity (for non-ACPI operating systems only).
If your computer stays idle for a certain amount of time, your system switches from Full Power Mode
to Sleep Mode in order to reduce power consumption.
In Sleep Mode, graphics, the processor and hard disks are stopped. A user event, such as from the
mouse or keyboard, can cause the system to resume to Full Power Mode within a few seconds.
Other events may also wake up the system: a ring on an external modem, a signal sent by an expansion
card (network card etc.).
Boot - for choosing your boot device order and priority.
•
You can select the order of the devices from which the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) attempts to
boot the operating system. During the POST (Power On Self-Test), if the BIOS is unsuccessful at
booting from one device, it will try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list until an operating
system is found. The default boot device is the floppy disk.
Exit: for leaving the Setup program.
•
Setting System Defaults
The Setup program changes system behavior by modifying the power-on initialization parameters.
Setting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. If this occurs, press the F9 key while you are in
the Setup program to load the Setup program's default values or select Load default values in the Exit menu
of the Setup program. This should enable the computer to boot properly.
Note If a Supervisor password is set, you need to enter the password to set system defaults.
HP strongly recommends you make a note of any changes you make while in the Setup program.
