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 the [
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 seven menus; Main,
Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, Info and Exit. This
document explains each menu, 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: [ ], [ ].

• Selecting a field causes a help message about that
field to be displayed on the right-hand side of the
screen.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure

If there has been a change in system configuration that
does not match 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 severe, it
will give you the opportunity to modify the settings of
the setup utility, as described in the following steps:
