1 Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2 During POST, when the DELL logo is displayed, watch for the F2 prompt to appear, and then press F2 immediately.
NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard is initialized. This prompt can appear very quickly, so you must watch for
it, and then press F2. If you press F2 before the F2 prompt, this keystroke is lost. If you wait too long and the operating
system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the desktop. Then, turn off your computer and try again.
