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 should be 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

■

Change the configuration of internal devices

■

System 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 system information window of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

3. Press the arrow keys 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 five menus: Main, Advance, Security, Boot, and Exit. This document explains all menus, including submenus and setup items.

The following procedures allow you to navigate the setup utility menus:

1 . To s e l e c t a m e n u , u s e t h e c u r s o r k e y s :

2. To select a field within a menu or a submenu, use the

cursor keys:

[ ], [ ].

3. After selecting the field, press the [Enter] button to open the selection window.

4. To change the value for a field, press the [Tab] button to enter the selection window and to navigate through the fields.

5. To return to a menu from a submenu:

■

Press the [Esc] key or the [OK] button to accept the change and exit.

[ ], [ ].

■

Press the [Esc] key or the [Cancel] button to reject the change and exit.

Selecting a field causes a description about that field to be displayed in the bottom panel of the screen.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure

If there has been a change in 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 isn’t 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. 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, refer to the Troubleshooting section of your system Use’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.

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

■

A bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM/DVDROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM/DVD-ROM can never 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 the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.
