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 normally 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 arrow keys 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 six menus; Main,
Advanced, Security, 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

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.

Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced Menu
The Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu allows
you 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.
