Notebook Manager

The computer has a built-in system setup program called Notebook Manager. The
Windows-based Notebook Manager allows you to set passwords, the startup
sequence of the drives and power management settings. It also shows current
hardware configurations.

Note: Certain hotkey functions are disabled when you access Notebook
Manager because those functions are also found in the Notebook Manager.

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.

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.

Notebook Manager consists of six sections:

Information Viewer

POST

Boot Sequence

Password

Power Management (Option displayed on the Windows 98 ACPI setup
screen)

Display Device

To select a section, click on the tab of the section you want to view.
