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!

[Continue]
5. Press any key to enter the setup utility. The system will then display the Info Menu with current param­eters values.
