BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your tablet. Your BIOS is set
at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore
there should be no need to set or change the BIOS
environment to operate your tablet.
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 tablet.
2. Press the [F2] key when a message appears under the
Fujitsu logo prompting you to “Press <F2>: BIOS
Setup”. This will open the main menu of the BIOS
Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.
3. Press the arrow keys 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: Main,
Advanced, Security, Boot, Info 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:
[ ], [ ].
[ ], [ ].
■
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 the opportunity to modify
the settings of the setup utility, 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.
3. To select the different values for each field, press the
[Spacebar] to change to the next higher selection
and [F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection.
4. To activate a submenu press the [Enter] key.
5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press the [Esc]
key.

A bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM may have a floppy disk or hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is used, the disc becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM will only take drive
C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM or DVD-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 hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.
■
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from CD-ROM?DVD-ROM or you may mistakenly overwrite files.
