Running BIOS Setup
Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu
driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system
configuration and tailor your system to reflect installed hardware or
alter system performance. When the Notebook is turned back on, the
system is configured with the values stored in CMOS. With easy-to-
use menus, you can configure such items as:
•
Hard drives and peripherals
•
Bootup Drive Sequence
•
Password protection
•
Power Management Features
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect how
the Notebook performs.
Navigating through BIOS Setup
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as
possible. If you accidentally make a setting and don' t know which
one to switch back to, the Setup program has a hot key that allows you
to return to the previous value.
Accessing the BIOS Setup Program
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the F2 key after the
Notebook has run through its POST.
