Navigating through the BIOS Setup Program
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It
is a menu driven program, which means you can scroll through the various
directories and make your selections among the various predetermined choices.
If you accidentally make a setting and do not know which one to switch back
to, use the BIOS hot keys to return to the previous value. The hot keys are
discussed in more detail later in this chapter.

When turning on the Notebook for the first time you may get a message
prompting you to run the BIOS Setup program. A warning message may
appear on the screen if the hardware configuration is changed or the POST
fails. This message will inform you of any errors or invalid settings and
prompt you to run the Setup program to correct the problem.

Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use the Setup
program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration
of your computer. For example, you may want to make changes to the power
management settings or enable the Notebook’s password function for security
purposes. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the Setup
program so that the computer can recognize these changes.
