Hitachi SA200 Manual De Usuario

Because the BIOS Setup program is menu driven, you can scroll 
through the various submenus to make your selections.

When you need to run your laptop’s BIOS Setup program depends 
on your computing requirements.

When you turn on your SA200 for the first time, you may get a 
message prompting you to run the BIOS Setup program. A 
warning message may also appear on the screen if the hardware 
configuration has changed or the laptop’s Power On Self Test 
(your computer’s self-diagnostic test) fails. This message will 
inform you of any errors or invalid settings and prompt you to run 
the BIOS Setup program to correct the problem. For more 
information on Power On Self Test (POST) errors, see “Power On 
Self Test Error Messages” on page 83.

Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use 
the BIOS Setup program, you may eventually want to change your 
laptop’s configuration. Following are some reasons why you may 
want to run the BIOS Setup program:

•

You set up the computer for the first time and received 
a message stating that you should run the BIOS Setup 
program.

•

You want to reset the system clock.

•

You want to redefine the laptop’s communication ports 
to prevent any conflicts.

•

You want to make changes to the laptop’s power 
management configuration.

•

You want to change the password or make other 
changes to the security setup.
