5 - 4 The Setup Utility
The Setup Utility
The Aptio Setup Utility tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic
features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).
Entering Setup
To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press F2 (and give the system a few sec-
onds to enter Setup) during the POST (or press F7 for boot options). The prompt
"Press F2 to Enter Setup" is usually present for a few seconds after you turn on the
system. If you get a "Keyboard Error", (usually because you pressed F2 too quickly)
with
just press F2 again.
If the computer is already on, reboot using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and
then hold down F2 when prompted. The Setup main menu will appear.
To see the boot options press F7.
