Using System Setup

The System Setup program enables you to configure your computer hardware and

set security and power-savings options. The settings you choose are stored in

battery-maintained CMOS memory that saves the information even when the

computer’s power is turned off. When your computer is turned back on, it is

configured with the values found in this memory.

Run System Setup if you get a message prompting you to run the program. You

may also want to run System Setup, particularly the first time you use your

computer, to set the time and date, use security or power-management features, or

alter the settings of other features.

Your computer’s version of System Setup may not include all

the fields listed here or may include additional fields. Field

names and order of appearance can vary according to the

version of the BIOS (basic input/output system) on your

computer.

You can use the configuration listing at the back of this manual to record

information specific to your computer. (See ”Recording the Computer Hardware

Configuration” on page 109.) Fill it out as you complete your System Setup

configuration. This list helps you describe your computer if you must contact your

authorised reseller for service or product information.

Starting System Setup

To start System Setup, turn on your computer and then press <F2> when

prompted. The System Setup screen appears.
