Configuring the OmniBook
Using BIOS Setup
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup utility is a menu-driven utility that
enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor the operation of your
OmniBook to your individual work needs.
The settings made in the BIOS Setup utility generally control the hardware and
consequently have a fundamental effect on how the OmniBook operates.
This section describes the BIOS Setup utility menus and options in detail.

To run the BIOS Setup utility

1. Close all applications, then shut down Windows and restart the OmniBook.
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. The pointing devices are not active in the BIOS Setup utility. Press the RIGHT and
LEFT arrow keys to move among menus. Press the DOWN and UP arrow keys to
move among parameters in a menu. Press F5 or F6 to move through values for the
current parameter or press ENTER to change a setting. See the tables below for more
information.
4. After you select the options you want, press F10 or use the Exit menu to exit the
BIOS Setup utility.
5. If the settings cause a conflict between devices during reboot, the system prompts you
to run BIOS Setup, and the conflicting settings are marked.

different version, some settings may differ from those shown.
