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: [ ],[ ].

2. To select a field within a menu or a submenu, use the
cursor keys: [ ], [ ].

3. To select the different values for each field, press the

Spacebar] or [+] to change to the next higher selec-

[
tion and [

4. To activate a submenu press the [Enter] key.

5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press
the [

6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu,
press the [

F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears

F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection.

Esc] key.

Esc] key.

POINTS

• Selecting a field causes a help message about the field
to be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

• Pressing the Enter key with the highlight on a selec­tion that is not a submenu or auto selection will cause
a list of all options for that item to be displayed.
Pressing the Enter key again will select the high­lighted choice.

7. Pressing the [

F9] key resets all items in the BIOS to

the default values.

8. Pressing the [

F10] key saves the current configura-

tion and exits the BIOS Setup Utility. You will be
asked to verify this selection before it is executed.

9. Pressing the [

F1] key gives you a general help screen.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration 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
a beep and/or the following message appears on
the screen:

Error message - please run SETUP
program Press <F1> key to continue,
<F2> to run SETUP

2. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and
you want to continue with the boot process and start

the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.

POINTS

• If your notebook emits a series of beeps that sounds
like a code and the display is blank, refer to the Trou­bleshooting Section of your system User’s Guide. The
Troubleshooting Section includes a list of error mes­sages and their meanings.

• If your data security settings require it, you may be
asked for a password before the operating system will
be loaded.

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and
you want to enter the setup utility, press the [

F2] key.

4. When the setup utility starts with a fault present, the
system displays the following message:

Warning!
Error message
[Continue]

5. Press any key to enter the setup utility. The system
will then display the Main Menu with current
parameters values.

Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced Menu

The Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu
provides the ability to set the I/O addresses and
interrupt levels for the serial, infrared and parallel
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 hardware and software
documentation as well as the setup utility to determine
settings, limitations, etc.

CAUTIONS

• In Save-to-Disk mode there is no indication on the
Status Indicator to let you know you are suspended
rather than shut off from the power switch. You may
want to make a habit of always trying the Suspend/
Resume button before using the power switch.

• Resume-on-Modem ring when enabled will draw
power from the bridge battery alone when your
system is running off battery power. This may poten­tially drain your bridge battery. Disabling Wake-on­Modem ring will prevent this from happening.
