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.

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.

MAIN MENU

SETTING STANDARD SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The Main Menu allows you to set or view the current system 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 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 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. The BIOS will warm you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk ne xt to each device that is in conflict.

Critical Point

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.

Critical Point

In Windows 98 systems A uto-suspend Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout, and Video Timeout f eatures 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. Y ou may want to make a habit of alw ays trying the Suspend/ Resume button before using the power switch. Resume on Modem ring when enabled will draw power from the bridge battery alone when your system is running off battery power. This ma y potentially drain your bridge battery . Disabling Resume on Modem ring will prevent this from happening.

If you choose Save-toDisk your notebook will save all of system memory and the operating parameters to the hard drive before turning your notebook to the pseudo-off condition.

When set to After 1 Hour, your notebook will automatically save all of system memory and the operating parameters to the hard drive, and go to the pseudo-off if you leave your notebook in Suspend mode for an hour.

Sets whether or not to resume from a suspension state at a designated time. This feature is available from either the Suspend mode or the Save-to-Disk mode.

Sets the designated time, on a 24-hour clock, when the notebook is to automatically resume operation from the Suspend state. The format of the clock setting is hours: minutes: seconds. Each segment of the time is set separately, either by incrementing or by typing in the numbers. You move between the segments with the [Tab] key or the [Shift]+[Tab] keys. This only applies when Resume on Time is set to On.
