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

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure

If there has been a change in the system configuration that does not agree with 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.

CAUTION

If your notebook beeps a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section. The Troubleshooting Section includes a list of error messages and their meanings.

POINT

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

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.

POINTS

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.

• Wake-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.

Item Specific Help

Maximum Power Savings conserves the greatest amount of system power while Maximum Performance conserves power but allows greatest system performance. To alter these setting, choose Customize.
