When to Use Setup
The notebook is already correctly configured for you and you do not need to run Setup. If you
make any changes to the notebook or you receive an Equipment Configuration Error message
after you turn on the notebook, you may need to run Setup. Run Setup also if you want to do any
of the following:
•
Check the system configuration
•
Change the system date, time or speed
•
Add or change the location of the external mouse
•
Change the system startup sequence
•
Set the power-saving suspend mode type
•
Set or change resume options
•
Set, change, or remove a system password
The system configuration values reside in the battery-powered
CMOS RAM.
