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 in turn, including all
submenus and setup items.
The following procedures allow you to navigate the
setup utility menus:
1. To s ele ct a m enu, us e t he c ur so r ke ys : .
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 selection 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.
POINT
Selecting a field causes a help message about that field
to be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.
POINT
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 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
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 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.
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.

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. (See Navigating Through The Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.).
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.
POINT
In Windows 98 Auto-suspend Timeout, Hard Disk
Timeout, and Video Timeout features are available
exclusively through the operating system.
POINT
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.
CAUTION
Resume 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 Resume on Modem ring
will prevent this from happening.

CAUTION
A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the bootable CDROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically
without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format 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 never use a C: designation
if a formatted internal hard drive is present, since the C:

new designations.
