System Setup
Configuring the System Setup
The System Setup options allow you to:
Change the system configuration information after you add, change or remove any 
hardware in your laptop.
Set or change a user-selectable option.
View the installed amount of memory or set the type of hard drive installed.
Before you use System Setup, it is recommended that you write down the current System 
Setup information for future reference.
 
CAUTION: 
Do not change the settings in System Setup unless you 
are an expert computer user. Certain changes can cause your 
computer to work incorrectly.
Entering System Setup
1
Turn on (or restart) your laptop.
  NOTE: Keyboard failure may result when a key on the keyboard is held down for 
extended periods of time. To avoid possible keyboard failure, press and release 
<F2> in even intervals until the System Setup screen appears.
2
While the laptop is booting, press <F2> immediately before the operating system 
logo appears to access the BIOS Setup Utility. If an error occurs during POST (Power 
On Self Test), you may also enter the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing <F2> when 
prompted.
  NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to 
wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop, then shut down your laptop 
and try again.
System Setup Screens
The BIOS Setup Utility window displays current or changeable configuration information 
for your laptop. Information is divided into five menus: Main, AdvancedSecurity, Boot, 
and Exit.
Key functions appear at the bottom of the BIOS Setup Utility window and lists keys and 
their functions within the active field.
