BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your
computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not
need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you
may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when
a problem arises.
To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (while the TravelMate logo
is being displayed).
There are seven menu options: System Information, Basic System Settings,
Startup Configuration, Onboard Devices Configuration, System Security,
Power Management and Load Default Settings.
To enter a menu, highlight the item using the ¦Ø keys; then press Enter.
Within a menu, navigate through the BIOS Utility by following these
instructions:
Press the cursor up/down keys -¦Ø to move between parameters.
Press the cursor left/right keys ƨ to change the value of a parameter.
