System Setup Screens

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings

listed at the left. To the right of each option is a field that displays the
setting or value for that option. You can change settings that appear as

(because they are determined by the computer) appear less bright.
A box in the upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for
the currently highlighted option; a box in the lower-right corner displays
information about the computer. System setup key functions are listed
across the bottom of the screen.
The screens display such information as:
• System configuration
• Boot configuration and dock configuration settings
• Basic device configuration settings
• Battery charge status
• Power management settings
• System security and hard drive password settings
