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 (or use
the TrustedCore Menu, as detailed in the next section):

1. Turn on or restart your notebook.

2. Press [F2] 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.

options for that item to be displayed.
Pressing the Enter key again will select
the highlighted choice.

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:

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.

it must be used to access the hard drive if it is used in another system. Note that the
password will not take effect until the system has been rebooted.

Boot Menu

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

■

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

■

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used,
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format 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. A bootable CD-ROM cannot 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 new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

■

In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the Boot
Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.

■

Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.

■

The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12]
key.

(See Using the TrustedCore Menu on page 2 for more information.)

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is
not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to
save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.

Exiting from Boot Menu

When you have finished setting the boot parameters with the Boot Menu, you can either exit from the setup utility or
move to another menu. If you wish to exit from the setup utility press the [Esc] key to go to the Exit Menu. If you wish
to move to another menu, use the cursor keys.
