settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A
battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life;
however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and
configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is
displayed when you turn on the computer.
Refer to “Lithium battery notice” on page vi for information about replacing and
disposing of the battery.

Chapter 2. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program is stored in the electrically erasable
programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) of your computer. The
Configuration/Setup Utility program is used to view and change the configuration
settings of your computer, regardless of which operating system you are using.
However, the operating-system settings might override any similar settings in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program
To start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, shut down the
operating system and turn off the computer.
2. Turn on the computer and look for the F1 prompt in the lower-left corner of
the screen.
3. When the prompt is displayed, press F1. (This prompt is displayed for only a
few seconds. You must press F1 quickly). If an administrator password has
been set, the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu is not displayed until
you type your password. See “Using passwords” for more information.
The Configuration/Setup Utility might start automatically when POST detects that
hardware has been removed or new hardware has been installed in your computer.
Viewing and changing settings
The Configuration/Setup Utility program menu lists items that identify system
configuration topics.
When working with the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, you must use
the keyboard. The keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom
of each screen.
Exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility program
When you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the
Configuration/Setup Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several
times). If you want to save the new settings, select Save Settings before you exit.
Otherwise, your changes will not be saved.
Using passwords
You can use passwords to provide security for your computer and data. There are
two kinds of passwords: a user password and an administrator password. You do
not have to set a password of either type to use your computer. However, if you
decide to set either one, read the following sections.
User password
The user password feature deters unauthorized persons from gaining access to
your computer.
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing
configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several
computers, you might want to set an administrator password.
After you set an administrator password, a password prompt is displayed each
time you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type the
wrong password, you will see an error message. If you type the wrong password
three times, you must turn the computer off and start again.
If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either
password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your
administrator password.
Setting, changing, and deleting a password
To set, change, or delete a password, do the following:
Note: A password can be any combination of up to seven characters (A- Z, a-z,
and 0-9).
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “Starting the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 25).
2. From the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, select Security. Read the
information displayed on the right side of the screen.
Using Security Profile by Device
Security Profile by Device is used to enable or disable user access to the following
devices:
IDE controllerWhen this feature is set to Disable, all devices connected to the
IDE controller (such as hard disk drives or the CD-ROM drive)
are disabled and will not be displayed in the system
configuration.
Diskette Drive AccessWhen this feature is set to Disable, the diskette drive cannot be
accessed.
Diskette Write ProtectWhen this feature is set to Enable, all diskettes are treated as if
they are write-protected.
To set Security Profile by Device, do the following:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “Starting the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 25).
2. From the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, select Security.
3. Select Security Profile by Device.
4. Select the desired devices and settings and press Enter.
5. Return to the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu and select Exit and
then Save Settings.

The information in this section contains instructions for changing the startup
sequence.
26User Guide
The startup sequence
Your computer can be started from several devices, including the hard disk drive,
diskette drive, and CD drive or DVD drive, or from the network. The startup
program looks for these devices in a specified sequence and starts the computer
from the first device in the sequence that contains startable media or code. You can
specify a different startup sequence for when your computer is turned on from the
power button than for when it is turned on automatically, such as over a network
or by a timer.
When you turn on your computer, you are prompted to press F12 to change the
startup sequence temporarily for the current startup. No permanent changes are
made to the computer configuration.

Appendix A. Updating System Programs
The following contains information about updating system programs (POST/BIOS)
and how to recover from a POST/BIOS update failure.
System programs
System programs are the basic layer of software that is built into your computer.
They include the power-on self-test (POST), the basic input/output system (BIOS)
code, and the Configuration/Setup Utility program. POST is a set of tests and
procedures that is performed each time you turn on your computer. BIOS is a layer
of software that translates instructions from other layers of software into electrical
signals that the computer hardware can understand. You can use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to view and change the configuration and
setup of your computer.
Your computer system board has a module called electrically erasable programmableread-only memory (EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory). You can easily update
POST, BIOS, and the Configuration/Setup Utility program by starting your
computer using a flash update diskette.
IBM might make changes and enhancements to the system programs. When
updates are released, they are available as downloadable files on the World Wide
Web (see the Quick Reference). Instructions for using the system program updates
are available in a README file that is included in the update files.
To update system programs (flash the EEPROM):
1. Insert a system program update (flash) diskette into the diskette drive (drive A)
in your computer. System program updates are available at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web.
2. Turn on the computer. If it is on already, you must turn it off and back on
again. The update begins.
Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure
If power to your computer is interrupted while POST/BIOS is being updated (flash
update), your computer might not restart correctly. If this happens, follow the steps
for Erasing a lost or forgotten password (clearing CMOS).
The following charts represent how the hard disk stores different types of
information. Address ranges and byte sizes are approximate.
