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 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.
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 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. 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 beeps 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.
Critical 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.
