Chapter Seven: Configuring & Maintaining
Your System
 
Setup Program
Your WinBook XL system should have arrived all ready to run, but you still should have some familiarity with your
system and how it is set up. While you do not need to be a computer technician to use the Setup program, you
should not make any changes to the settings until you have read this section and are familiar with the details of the
Setup program. This program stores information which can be crucial to the proper operation of your system, so you
should try to be aware of what the effects will be of any changes that you make. Since the Setup program is the
primary site for customizing power management in your WinBook XL, you will want to become familiar with this
part of your system.
The Setup program writes information about the equipment, security and power management of your computer
directly into ROM (Read-Only Memory) in the computer's hardware (it is stored in the computer's BIOS chip).
When you turn on your computer, it first looks at this information to see what the physical system has available for
its use.
Access to the Setup menu is during the boot process. When you first start the computer, you will be offered the
chance to enter the Setup mode (by pressing the [Del] key). If you wish to enter after the computer has booted, you
will need to exit Windows 95 (or whatever operating system you are running). You can restart the computer by
selecting Shut Down in the Start menu, then selecting the restart option. When the computer starts to reboot, press
the [Del] key to enter the program.
[Sidebar: Pencil icon: The system BIOS is updated regularly to take advantage of new features. The actual BIOS
options for your system might vary slightly from those listed below. For more current information and for the
default settings for your system, see your WinBook XL Help file.]
 
Setup Utility Menu

Once you have entered the Setup program, you will arrive at the Setup utility menu. Scroll down to an item using the
up-arrow and down-arrow keys or the Tab key. To select an item, hit Enter.
In any of the menus, you can use the Tab key or arrows to move between items. Use the [PgUp] and [PgDn] keys to
change the settings for a given item. Use the [Esc] key to move from a menu back to the main screen of the Setup
utility.
