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: [ ], [ ].

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!

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

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.
