System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

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.

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:

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.
