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:
n
Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
n
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 [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears
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 in turn, including all
submenus and setup items.
The following procedures allow you to navigate the
setup utility menus:

the default values.
8. Pressing the [F10] key saves the current configuration 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,

CAUTION
A bootable CD-ROM may have a floppy disk format or
a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is
used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format
CD-ROM is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The
CD-ROM will only take Drive C: (hard drive format) if
the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The
bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a
formatted internal hard drive is present, since the C:
designator is always reserved for the internal hard
drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new
designations.
