System Setup Program: Dell Latitude ATG D620 User's Guide
NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical
support, do not change the system setup settings. Certain changes might make your computer
work incorrectly.

Viewing the System Setup Screens

1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F2> immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows
logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your
computer and try again.
System Setup Screens
NOTE: For information about a specific item on a system setup screen, highlight the item and
see the Help area on the screen.
On each screen, the system setup options are listed at the left. To the right of each option is the
setting or value for that option. You can change settings that appear as white type on the screen.
Options or values that you cannot change (because they are default values detected by the computer)
appear less bright.
The upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the currently highlighted option; the
lower-right corner displays information about the computer. System-setup key functions are listed
across the bottom of the screen.

Commonly Used Settings

Certain settings require that you reboot the computer for new settings to take effect.

Changing the Boot Sequence

The boot sequence, or boot order, tells the computer where to look to find the software needed to start
the operating system. You can control the boot sequence and enable/disable devices using the Boot
Order page of system setup.
