Entering System Setup

1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the blue DELL logo is displayed, you must watch for the F2 prompt to appear.
3. Once the F2 prompt appears, press <F2> immediately.
NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized. This prompt can appear very
quickly, so you must watch for it to display, and then press <F2> . If you press <F2> before
you are prompted, this keystroke will be lost.
4. If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the
Microsoft Windows desktop. Then, shut down your computer and try again.
