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.

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

Page 3

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.

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.

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 match the parameter settings stored in your BIOS memory , or there is a f ailure in the system, the system beeps and/or displa ys an error message after the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not too sev ere, it will give y ou 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.

Critical Point

If your notebook emits 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. If your data security settings require it, you may be ask ed for a pass word bef ore the operating system will be loaded.

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and y ou 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.

CAUTION

In 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 for-mat 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 ne ver use a C: designation if a f ormatted 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. Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or y ou ma y o v erwrite files by mistake.

Serial/Parallel Port Configuration Submenu of the Advanced Menu

The Serial/Parallel Port Configuration 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. The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yello w asterisk next to each de vice that is in conflict. All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.
