Your computer provides a program, called BIOS Setup Utility, that enables
you to select various setup parameters.
v Config: Set the configuration of your computer.
v Date/Time: Set the date and time.
v Security: Set security features.
v Startup: Set the startup device.
v Restart: Restart the system.
Note: If you are using Windows XP or Windows 2000, you can set many of
these parameters more easily by using the ThinkPad Configuration Program.
To start BIOS Setup Utility, do as follows:
®

v To turn off your computer, press and hold the power switch for 4
seconds or more. If the computer still does not respond, remove
the ac adapter and the battery.

communication operation. Disable the standby timer when you
are working on the network.
The computer does not start from a device you want.
See the Startup menu of the BIOS Setup Utility. Make sure that the
startup sequence in the BIOS Setup Utility is set so that the
computer starts from the device you want.
Also make sure that the device from which the computer starts is
enabled. In the startup menu in the BIOS Setup Utility, make sure
that the device is included in the "Boot priority order" list. If it is
included in the "Excluded from boot order" list, it is disabled. Select
the entry for it in the list and press the x key. This moves the entry
to the "Boot priority order" list.
