❖

Password—Allows you to set or reset a user password for 
the power-on process and for instant security

❖

Display—Allows you to change various default settings 
for the built-in LCD display

❖

CPU—Allows you to set the “CPU Frequency Mode” to 
one of “Dynamically Switchable,” “Always High,” or 
“Always Low”

Dynamically Switchable—This mode is the default setting for 
your computer, and automatically changes the processing 
frequency and decreases voltage depending on the power 
source:

❖

Always High—If your computer is connected to the 
AC adapter, the CPU frequency mode is set to high 
for faster processing.

❖

Always Low—If your computer is running on battery 
power, the CPU frequency mode is set to low for 
slower processing. Switching the CPU to low allows 
you to conserve power and extend the operating time 
of your battery.

❖

Boot Priority—Allows you to change the sequence in 
which your computer searches the drives for the 
operating system

You can also manually choose the Boot Priority by pressing 
the power button, then quickly pressing the F12 key, or the 
right or left arrow keys.

Select the boot device icon by pressing the right or left arrow 
keys, then pressing the Enter key.

Since the system is a quick-booting system, you must press 
the arrow keys immediately after pressing the power button.

❖

Keyboard—Allows you to enable or disable the wake-on 
keyboard function.
