System Setup Screens; Commonly Used Options; Changing The Boot Sequence - Dell Latitude C610 User Manual

System Setup Screens

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer. Each screen
is laid out with the system setup options listed at the left. To the right of each option is a field that displays
the setting or value for that option. You can change settings that appear as white type on the screen.
Options or values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the computer) appear less
bright.
A box in the upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the currently highlighted option; a
box in the lower-right corner displays information about the computer. System setup key functions are listed
across the bottom of the screen.
The screens display such information as:
System configuration
Boot configuration and dock configuration settings
Basic device configuration settings
Battery charge status
Power management settings
System security and hard drive password settings
NOTE: Certain options require that you reboot the computer for new settings to take effect.

Changing the Boot Sequence

The boot sequence tells the computer where to look to find the software needed to start the operating
system. To change the computer's boot sequence, change the device settings in the Boot First Device,
Boot Second Device, or Boot Third Device options.
