Non-Fatal Errors
This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying the problem (make a note of this message!)
followed by the prompt:
• Press <F1> to resume,
• <F2> to enter Setup
Press F1 to see if the boot process can continue. It may work, without the correct configuration.
Press F2 to run the Setup program and try to correct the problem. If you still get an error message after you change the
setting, or if the "cure" seems even worse, call for help.
The Setup Program
The Setup program tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic features and subsystems (e.g. port configu-
ration).
Entering Setup
To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 during the POST or Logo startup screen.
The prompt ("Press F2 to Enter Setup") is usually present for a few seconds after you turn on the system. If you get a
"Keyboard Error" (usually because you pressed F2 too quickly) just press F2 again. If the computer is already on, reboot using
the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and then hold down F2 (or Enter when you see the Logo startup screen) when prompted.
Setup' s main menu will appear.
Setup Screens
The following pages contain additional advice on portions of the Setup. Along the top of the screen is a menu bar with menu
headings. When you select a heading, a new screen appears. Scroll through the features listed on each screen to make changes
to Setup.
Main Menu
System Time & Date (Main Menu)
The hour setting uses the 24-hour system (i.e., oo = midnight; 13 = 1 pm). If you can change the date and time settings in
your operating system, you will also change these settings. Some applications may also alter data files to reflect these
changes.
Primary Master (Main Menu)
Pressing Enter under opens the sub-menu to show the configuration of the HDD that fits into the computer' s HDD bay. These
items are configured automatically for you.
Secondary Master (Main Menu)
Pressing Enter in this menu opens the sub-menu to show the configuration of the CD device. These items are configured
automatically for you.
