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.

[Enter] key or click on the left mouse or touchpad
button; the TrustedCore Menu will appear.

with the current settings displayed.

Navigating through the Setup Utility

The BIOS setup utility consists of six menus: Main,

explains each menu in turn, including all submenus and
setup items.

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

[Fn] button, use the left/right cursor
keys:

2. To select a field within a menu or a
submenu, while holding the [Fn]
button, use the up/down 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.

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

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 [Fn]+[F9] key resets all items in the
BIOS to the default values.

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:

2

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 [Fn]+[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.

■

you may be asked for a password before
the operating system will be opened.

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu allows you to assign the order of the system boot devices.

■

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 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.
