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 [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, 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 [F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection.

Critical Point

Selecting a field causes a help message about that 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.

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

5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press the [Esc] key.

6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu, press the [Esc] key.

2

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 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.

Critical 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.

SETTING STANDARD SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The Main Menu allows you to set or view the current system parameters. Follow the instructions for

The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Main menu and its submenus, all of
the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the field’s function and any special
information needed to help understand the field’s use.

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.

Critical Point

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings.

CAUTION

The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next to each device
that is in conflict.

Critical Point

All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.

SECURITY MENU

SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES

The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit your oper­ating needs and to view the current data security configuration. Follow the instructions for Navigating
Through The Setup Utility to make any changes.
The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security menu and its submenus, all
of the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the field’s function and any
special information needed to help understand the field’s use. The default condition is no passwords
required and no write protection.

Critical Point

If you set a password, write it down and keep it in a safe place. If you forget the password you
will have to contact your support representative to regain access to your secured functions
and data.
If you make an error when re-entering the password a [Warning] will be displayed on the
screen. To try again, press the Enter key and then retype the pass-word. Press the Esc key to
abort the password setting process.
Boot sector protection must be set to [Normal] to install or upgrade an operating system.

CAUTION

Entering a password incorrectly three times in a row will cause the keyboard and mouse to be
locked out and the warning [System Disabled] to be displayed. If this happens, restart the
computer by turning off and on the power with the power switch and use the correct password
on reboot.
If the Password on Resume is Enabled and the Pass-word on Boot is Disabled you will not
have to type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk
modes. Power Management Security will work only if Password on Boot is enabled.

POWER MENU

SETTING POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURES

The Power menu allows you to set and change the power management parameters. Follow the
instructions for Navigating Through the Setup Utility to make any changes.
The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Power menu and its submenus, all of
the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the field’s function and any special
information needed to help understand the field’s use.

Critical Point

In Windows 98 Auto-suspend Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout, and Video Timeout features are
available exclusively through the operating system.
When resuming from a Save-to-Disk suspension there will be a delay while the contents of
system memory and operating parameters are loaded from the hard drive.

CAUTION

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-on-Modem ring will prevent this from happening.
