Computer Setup (F10) Utilities

Use Computer Setup (F10) Utility to do the following:
Change factory default settings.
Set the system date and time.
Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration, including settings for processor, graphics,
memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices.
Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives, optical drives, or USB flash media devices.
Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during a
Full Boot. You can set the system to:
always Quick Boot (default);
periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or
always Full Boot.
Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST)
messages. Post Messages Disabled suppresses most POST messages, such as memory count, product
name, and other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the
mode selected. To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during POST, press any key (except
through F12).
Establish an Ownership Tag, the text of which is displayed each time the system is turned on or
restarted.
Enter the Asset Tag or property identification number assigned by the company to this computer.
Enable the power-on password prompt during system restarts (warm boots) as well as during power-on.
Establish a setup password that controls access to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the settings
described in this section.
Secure integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, audio, or embedded NIC, so that they
cannot be used until they are unsecured.
Enable or disable removable media boot ability.
Solve system configuration errors detected but not automatically fixed during the Power-On Self-Test
(POST).
