Restoring factory settings
When you purchase an Aptiva computer, it is already configured for use. The
Setup Utility stores these original configuration settings, called factory or
default settings, so that you can return to the original configuration at any time.
If you have made changes in the Setup Utility and you would like to restore the
factory settings, follow these steps:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight the option Load Setup Default Settings then
press Enter. A dialog box appears confirming if you want to load the
default settings.
2. Use the left arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter.
3. Press Esc to save your changes and exit the Setup Utility.

Viewing System Information

From the Setup Utility Main Menu, select the System Information option to
view information about the hardware installed on your computer. You cannot
use this screen to change information. The Setup Utility automatically updates
this menu when you:
•
Add or change hardware on your computer
•
Make changes to other menus in the Setup Utility and save those
changes.
The System Information menu contains information about the processor,
memory, drives, and ports installed in your system. It includes information on
the video and I/O port addresses. This screen also shows if the mouse is
installed.
The option Product Data lists other information about your computer including
model number, serial number, and BIOS version and date.
