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 Notebook is turned back on, the
system is configured with the values stored in CMOS. With easy-to-use menus, you can
configure such items as:
Hard drives and peripherals •
•
•
•
Boot up Drive Sequence
Password protection
Power Management Features
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect how the Notebook performs.
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 DEL key after the Notebook 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.
