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.

Advanced, Security, Boot, Info and Exit. This document
explains each menu and all submenus and setup items.

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

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
