1.5.7 Audio-DJ
This notebook comes with optional built-in Audio DJ panel. It can play your Audio CD like
the CD player without powering on the whole computer.
1.5.8 Blue Tooth Module
This notebook is ready for Bluetooth technology. This is a wireless connection standard in a
short-range radio technology. It aims at simplifying communication between each device with
bluetooth module. Bluetooth is in essence a “personal-area network” technology for
connecting computers to peripherals and mobile phones.
1.6 System BIOS SETUP Program
The notebook uses the Phoenix BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) Setup program that allows
you to set several system configurations in changing the way the system performs. This
includes your system time and date, disk drive configuration, I/O device controls, boot drive
sequence, and power management settings. The information is then stored in the CMOS RAM
chip and will remain permanent unless you change it again. The notebook also uses EPROM
Flash BIOS that allows you to update the system BIOS by simply overwriting it using the
Phoenix Flash programming utility.
Before boot-up, the system will read the BIOS settings and compare them to the equipment
check conducted during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). As the POST (Power-On Self Test)
executes during the boot up process or if an error occurs, an error message will be displayed
on the screen, the screen will display the following message: ”Press to Enter SETUP”.
You will then be prompted to run the BIOS Setup Program by pressing the <F2> key to run
the BIOS Setup program.
The BIOS Setup program is organized into five menus which you can select using the Å and
Æ keys. To move from one option to another, you use the up and down arrow keys while
using the and , or <+>and <-> keys to change the settings. On the right hand side
of the screen are some brief help descriptions of each item you want to change.
On the BIOS Setup program, you will find the following parts on the screen:
• Menu Bar - found on the top line of the screen. Each of the five items has a separate
menu screen.
• Parameters - found on the left side of the screen. This area lists the parameters and
their current settings.
• Item Specific Help - found on the right side of the screen. This area describes each
parameter and its available settings.
• Key Status Bar- the bottom part of the screen. These lines display the keys available
to move the cursor, select a particular function and so forth.
To exit the BIOS Setup program, simply press the key and select from the Exit menu
whether you want to Save changes and exit; Discard Changes and exit.
The following table lists the keys on how to edit and move around the setup menus inside.
