BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS
is set at the factory for normal operating conditions,
therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS
environment to operate your notebook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
• Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
• System Data Security feature parameters, such
as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:
1. Turn on or restart your notebook.
2. Press the [
on the screen. This will open the main menu
of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current
settings displayed.
3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key
to scroll through the other setup menus to review or
alter the current settings.
Navigating Through The Setup Utility
The BIOS setup utility consists of seven menus; Main,
Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, Info and Exit. This
document explains each menu, including all submenus
and setup items.
The following procedures allow you to navigate the setup
utility menus:
1. To select a menu, use the cursor keys: [ ] [ ] .

Change or System Failure
If there has been a change in the system configuration
that does not match the parameter settings stored
in your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system,
the system beeps and/or displays an error message after
the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not
too severe, it will give you the opportunity to modify
the settings of the setup utility, as described in the
following steps:
1. When you turn on or restart the computer there is

ports of your notebook.
CAUTION
I/O addresses, DMA channels and Interrupt levels
can be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS
setup utility, the control software for the I/O device,
or the hardware. If any two ports or devices, serial or
parallel, have the same I/O address assigned, your
notebook will not function normally. Please keep a
record of original settings before making any changes
in the event that a restoration is required. See your

SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security
features of your notebook to fit your operating needs and
to view the current data security configuration. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through The Setup
Utility to make any changes.
The following tables show the names of the menu fields
for the Security menu and submenus, all of the options
for each field, the default settings and a description of the
field’s function and any special information needed to
help understand the field’s use. The default condition is
no passwords required and no write protection.
POINTS
• If you set a password, write it down and keep it in a
safe place. If you forget the password you will have to
contact your support representative to regain access
to your secured functions and data.
• If you make an error when re-entering the password
a [Warning] will be displayed on the screen. To try
again, press the Enter key and then retype the password. Press the Esc key to abort the password setting
process.
• Boot sector protection must be set to [Normal] to
install or upgrade an operating system.
CAUTIONS
• Entering a password incorrectly three times in a row
will cause the keyboard and mouse to be locked out
and the warning [System Disabled] to be displayed. If
this happens, restart the computer by turning off and
on the power with the power switch and use the
correct password on reboot.
• If the Password on Resume is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to type
your password upon resuming the system from the
Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Management
Security will work only if Password on Boot is
enabled.
