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 (or use the TrustedCore Menu, as detailed in the next section):

1. Turn on or restart your notebook.

2. Press [F2] 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.

Using the TrustedCore Menu

When the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. press the [Enter] key or click on the left mouse or touchpad button; the TrustedCore Menu will appear.

The TrustedCore Menu provides shortcuts to the following menus and information screens:

■

BIOS Setup

■

Diagnostic Screen

■

Boot Menu

■

Patent Information

■

System Information

■

Continue Booting

Clicking on any of the fields will invoke the screen, information, or action described.

The Boot Menu can also be invoked by pressing the [F12] key when the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen.

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 in turn, 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 lower selection and [F5] or [-] to go to the next higher selection.

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.

■

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.

7. Pressing the [F9] key resets all items in the BIOS to 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 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 an opportunity to modify the setup utility settings, 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.

■

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

■

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.

The Serial/Parallel Port Configuration submenu lets you set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the serial, infrared and parallel ports of your notebook.

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 address assigned, your notebook will not function normally. Keep a record of original settings before making any changes if restoration is required. See your hardware and software documentation as well as the setup utility to determine settings and limitations.

Boot Menu

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

■

Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.

■

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format 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. A bootable CD-ROM cannot 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 new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

■

In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the Boot Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.

■

Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.

■

The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12] key.

(See Using the TrustedCore Menu on page 2 for more information.)

To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
