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:

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.

Navigating through the Setup Utility

The BIOS setup utility consists of six menus: Info,
System, Advanced, Security, Boot, and Exit. This docu­ment explains each menu in turn, 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 lower
selection and [F5] or [-] to go to the next higher
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.

 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 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.

2

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 Info Menu with current param­eters values.

SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES

The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit operating needs and to view
the current data security configuration. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)

The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security Menu and its submenus, all the options for
each field, the default settings and a description of the field's function and any special information needed to help
understand the field's use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.

 Remember your passwords! If you set and forget your User and Master hard disk passwords, Fujitsu

America will not be able to reset it. You may lose data and have to replace your system board or hard disk
drive.

 WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT if your hard disk drive is protected using a Full Disk Encryption (FDE)

"engine". FDE encrypts all data as it is written to the hard drive. When data is retrieved from the hard
drive, it is decrypted by the same engine. If you forget your hard disk security password on a system with

FDE, all data and applications on the hard drive will remain encrypted and will effectively be lost. Be

sure to remember your hard disk password.

 Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row causes the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and

[System Disabled] to be displayed. If this occurs, restart the computer by turning off and on the power
with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot.

 If you make an error when re-entering the password a Warning will be displayed. To try again press

[Enter], then retype the password, or press [Esc] to abort the password process.

 If the Security Panel on Resume is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to

type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Man­agement Security will work only if Password boot is enabled.

Boot Menu

BOOT MENU – SELECTING THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE

The Boot Menu is used to select the order in which the
BIOS searches sources for the operating system. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup
Utility to make any changes. (See Navigating through

the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)

 Be careful 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 format or a hard drive format. When the CD-ROM is used,

drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a 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 disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted
internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during the
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 by either going to the Exit Menu and
choosing Exit Saving Changes, or pressing F10 and choosing Yes to Save and Exit.
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.
