Notebook Manager
The computer has a built-in system setup program called
Notebook Manager. The Windows 98-based Notebook
Manager allows you to set passwords, the startup sequence
of the drives and power management settings. It also shows
current hardware configurations.
To start the Notebook Manager, press Fn-F2 or follow these
steps:
1. Click on Start, Programs, then Notebook Manager.
2. Select the Notebook Manager application to run the
program.
Notebook Manager consists of six sections:
❑ Information Viewer
❑ POST
❑ Boot Sequence
❑ Password
❑ Power Management
❑ Display Device
To select a section, click on the tab of the section you want
to view.
Note: Certain hot key functions are disabled when you
access the notebook manager, because these functions are
also found in the notebook manager.
Note: Changes made to most settings in the Notebook
Manager take effect the next time the computer restarts. If
you make changes in the Power Management and Display
Device screens, these changes take effect immediately.
