Running BIOS Setup
Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu
driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system
configuration and tailor your system to reflect installed hardware or
alter system performance. When the DeskNote is turned back on, the
system is configured with the values stored in CMOS.
Navigating through BIOS Setup
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as
possible. If you accidentally make a setting and don’t know which
one to switch back to, the Setup program has a hot key that allows
you to return to the previous value.
Accessing the BIOS Setup Program
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the F2 key after the
DeskNote has run through its POST.
Item Specific Help
On the right side of the Setup screen is an area labeled Item Specific
Help. This area will list navigation key shortcuts and information that
is specific for the item that you are currently editing.
