Compaq Setup and Diagnostic Software

Your Compaq Professional Workstation AP400 comes with Compaq setup and
diagnostic software (F10 Setup). This software includes Compaq Utilities
preinstalled on a hard drive partition. This chapter explains how to access the
Compaq Utilities menu, describes the options available in Compaq Utilities,
and discusses the ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Output
System).
If you have reformatted your hard drive and removed the Compaq Utilities
partition, you can reinstall it by using the Compaq SmartStart for Workstations
CD, or you can download Setup and User Diagnostics from the Compaq
website at http://www.compaq.com.
IMPORTANT: For more information about installing your operating system,
drivers, and other support software, refer to the Software Installation Guide.

Accessing the Compaq Utilities Menu

To access the Compaq Utilities menu:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation.

Windows NT by clicking Start, Shut Down, Restart the computer.

screen, press F10. You have approximately two seconds to press F10 or
you must restart the workstation.
