Using the Setup Programs 1-1
Accessing the Setup Programs
Your computer has three setup programs to assist you in
selecting required hardware and software parameters:
❑ Disk-based Setup
❑ ROM-based Setup
❑ Windows-based Setup
Accessing the Setup Programs
Initial Startup Procedure
The first time you boot up your notebook, your system
automatically runs Setup. The following questions are
asked:
1. You are asked which country your keyboard is designed
to support.
Once this information is provided, the Windows Setup
program automatically runs.
2. You are prompted for your name and program serial
number.
3. You are asked which printer you would like as a default
printer.
You exit Windows. System files are automatically
unzipped and the system build begins. When complete,
a video greeting appears. After it runs, the following
options appear:
No Change - keep the video and allow it to run each time
you boot the computer
Remove - removes the video entry from the startup file so
that you keep the video, but it does not run each time
you boot the computer

Games Demonstration Allows you to vie w or play pre-loaded
games on the notebook.
Accessing the Setup Programs
Delete - delete the video (the video takes up 12 MB of
hard disk space)
5. Make your selection.
The system reboots to the Startup Menu.
Startup Menu
Each time your system boots, the Startup Menu appears.
You have ten seconds to make selections from this menu,
otherwise the boot process continues with previously
configured parameters. The following is a description of the
Startup Menu:
To select an option, use the up and down arrow keys or
press the number key of the option you desire. This
highlights the option. Press Enter to select the desired
configuration.
Using the Setup Programs 1-3
Accessing the Setup Programs
Creating Backup System Diskettes
You should create your back up system diskettes as soon
as possible after purchasing your notebook. To create
backup system diskettes, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that you have 17 (for U.S.A.) or 18 (all other
countries) high density, 1.4 MB, 3.5" diskettes.
2. Boot your system.
System startup begins. A DOS Startup Menu appears.
3. Select option 5, SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND
BACKUP.
The system backup menu is displayed. You can select
files from the left column to back up by using the up
and down arrow keys to highlight the files. As
filenames in the left column are highlighted, a
description of them appears in the right column and the
number of diskettes required for these files is displayed.
4. To begin creating the system backup diskettes, insert
the diskette into the floppy drive and press ENTER to
back up highlighted files. Backing up all files requires
17 to 18 diskettes. Each diskette will automatically be
formatted.
You may access the Setup program at a later time to reset
previously configured parameters.
System Recovery Diskette
You should have received a System Recovery diskette with
your notebook. This is a bootable diskette with backup
software and enables you to restore minimum system files.
After the computer boots for the first time, you are
prompted to insert your System Recovery diskette. Ensure
that you make two additional copies of this diskette.
1-4 Using the Setup Programs
Accessing the Setup Programs
You should keep your System Recovery diskette updated
with your latest Windows configuration. To do this,
complete the following steps:
1. The first time you complete a new addition or change to
Windows (such as adding a new software icon),
manually copy all *.GRP and *.INI files to the first copy
of the System Recovery diskette. These files are
located in the C:\Windows directory.
2. The next time you complete a new addition or change to
Windows, you should manually copy over all of the
*.GRP and *.INI files to the second copy of the System
Recovery diskette.
3. After each subsequent change, you should alternate
making the backup of *.GRP and *.INI files to the first
and second copy of the System Recovery diskette.
Accessing Disk-Based Setup
This Setup program, which resides on the hard disk under
UTILS directory, defines all default and most
the
user-selectable parameters. Disk-based Setup contains
four screens, or pages, with onscreen prompts plus a
context-sensitive online help.
From the
Setup in two ways:
❑ Press FN-ESC (SETUP)
❑ Type SET_UP and press ENTER.
After Setup has loaded, you can define parameters based
on the information in the online help or in this chapter
C:\> prompt, you can access Page 1 of disk-based
.
Using the Setup Programs 1-5
Accessing the Setup Programs
Accessing ROM-Based Setup
ROM-based Setup resides in internal ROM. It is identical to
disk-based Setup except it does not have any online help.
To access Page 1 of
progress, and press CTRL-ALT-ESC. You can then select
parameters as you do for disk-based Setup. The system
reboots even if changes are not made.
ROM-based Setup, save any work in
Accessing Windows-Based Setup
To access Windows-based Setup, select the Windows
Control Panel in the Main Windows group. Then
double-click the WSetup icon. You can then define
parameters based on the information in the online help and
in this chapter.
Changes to many of the Setup parameters take effect only
at system startup. If you change one of these parameters,
when you save the new Setup parameters, you are
prompted that you need to exit Windows and restart the
computer. To put these changes into effect, double-click on
the Super Shutdown icon to exit Windows, then press
CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart the computer.
Defining Setup Parameters
The three Setup Programs adequately describe what you
need to do to navigate through the menus, use cursor keys,
save parameters, and exit.
Note: The Setup Programs are customized for each model
computer and for any given model may not support all of
n
the selections described in the following pages.

Power Management Parameters
If you use your computer frequently on battery power, the
Power Management Parameters
amount of productive time you can get out of a single
battery charge is important. Although the default values for
the Setup parameters do an adequate job of conserving
power, you can adjust the values of the parameters to
achieve even greater savings and a resulting longer battery
life.
Setup has two groups of power management parameters:
❑ Power-savings parameters that define what the
computer does to save power
❑ Activity-monitoring that determines when the
computer goes into and comes out of some of the
power conservation modes.
1-14 Using the Setup Programs
Power Savings
The power-savings parameters define a variety of ways the
computer can modify its activity to affect the drain on the
battery. There is also a parameter called Power Savings that
determines when, if ever, the computer implements the
defined power savings.

The computer can monitor activity on up to three groups of
devices depending on the model:
❑ Comm—includes the standard serial port
