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

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

[ tion and [

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

• 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 [

• 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.

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.
