System Utilities

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System).

Y our computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility . However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.

To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when “Press <F2> to enter Setup” message is prompted on the bottom of screen).

Press <F12> during POST to enter multi-boot menu. In this menu, user can change boot device without entering BIOS SETUP Utility.

Navigating the BIOS Utility

There are six menu options: Information, Main, Advanced, Security, Boot, and Exit. Follow these instructions:

• To choose a menu, use the left and right arrow keys.

• To choose an item, use the up and down arrow keys.

• To change the value of a parameter, press F5 or F6.

• A plus sign (+) indicates the item has sub-items. Press Enter to expand this item.

• Press Esc while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu.

• In any menu, you can load default settings by pressing F9. You can also press F10 to save any

changes made and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.

NOTE: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets. Navigation keys for a

particular menu are shown on the bottom of the screen. Help for parameters are found in the Item Specific Help part of the screen. Read this carefully when making changes to parameter values. Please note that system information is subject to different models.

Machine Disassembly and Replacement

IMPORTANT:The outside housing and color may vary from the mass produced model. This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the computer for maintenance and

troubleshooting.

Disassembly Requirements

To disassemble the computer, you need the following tools:

• Wrist grounding strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge

• Flat screwdriver

• Philips screwdriver

NOTE: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, group the

screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components.

General Information

Pre-disassembly Instructions

Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, make sure that you do the following:

1. Turn off the power to the system and all peripherals.

2. Unplug the AC adapter and all power and signal cables from th e system.

3. Place the system on a flat, stable surface.

The flowchart provided in the succeeding disassembly section illustrates the entire disassembly sequence. Observe the order of the sequence to avoid damage to any of the hardware components.
