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.
The Boot Menu can also be invoked by pressing the
[F12] key when the Fujitsu logo appears on the
screen.
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. Press the [F9] key to reset all items in the BIOS to
the default values.
8. Press the [F10] key to save the current configuration and exit the BIOS Setup Utility. You will be
asked to verify this selection before it is executed.
9. Press the [F1] key to view 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, but
you want to continue with the boot process and
start the operating system, 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.
.

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and
you want to enter the setup utility, press the [F2]
key.

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

3: NETWORK:

5: USB CD/DVD:
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 or hard drive format. When the 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. 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 internal 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
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. (You can also change the order
by tapping the spacebar to move the item up.) 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.
