The SETUP program and the factory default options for your
computer are stored in the computer's ROM (read-only
memory). The configuration information you enter is backed
up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off or reset
the computer.
Starting the SETUP Program
When you start your computer, it performs some power-on
diagnostics. During these diagnostics, you may see the
following message:
P r e s s < D e l > t o e n t e r S E T U P
Press Del. This message is only on the screen for a few seconds.
If you missed it, restart your computer and try again.
If, during power-on diagnostics, the system detects an error in
your system configuration, you hear two beeps and see an
error message followed by this message:
P r e s s < F 1 > t o r e s u m e , < D e l > t o r u n S E T U P
Press Del to run SETUP and correct the problem
SETUP displays the Main Menu, which allows you to select
various options to identify your system's configuration and
then save your new values. You can also cancel any changes
you have made and restore the default values stored in ROM or
load the previously stored values.
