Starting System Setup

75

The System Setup program enables you to configure your computer hardware 
and set security and power-savings options. The settings you choose are stored 
in the battery-maintained CMOS memory that saves the information even when 
the computer’s power is turned off. When your computer is turned back on, it is 
configured with the values found in this memory.

Run System Setup if you get a message prompting you to run the program. You 
may also want to run System Setup, particularly the first time you use your 
computer, to set the time and date, use security or power-management features, 
or alter the settings of other features.

Your computer’s version of System Setup may not include all the fields listed here 
or may include additional fields. Field names and order of appearance can vary 
according to the version of the BIOS (basic input/output system) on your 
computer.

To start System Setup, turn on your computer. When prompted press [F2]. The 
System Setup screen will appear. 

The top of the System Setup screen has a menu bar with the selections listed in 
Table 8.
