Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This section provides instructions for using the BIOS menus available on your thin
computer.
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Your notebook has a BIOS setup utility which allows you to configure important system
settings, including settings for various optional functions of the thin computer. This chapter
explains how to use the BIOS setup utility.

BIOS Setup Menu

The BIOS setup Utility allows you to configure your thin computer's basic settings. When
you turn your thin computer on, the system reads this information to initialize the hardware
so that it can operate correctly. Use the BIOS setup utility to change your thin computer's
start-up configuration. For example, you can change the security and power management
routines of your system.

Starting the BIOS Setup Utility

You can only enter the BIOS setup utility as the thin computer is booting, that is between
the time you turn on the thin computer and before the Windows interface appears. If your
thin computer is already on, shut down your thin computer completely (power off) and
restart it and then press the Del key to enter the setup utility.
