The Setup Utility

The

Aptio Setup Utility tells the system how to configure itself and manage basic

features and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).

Entering Setup

To enter Setup, turn on the computer and press

F2 (give the system a few seconds

to enter Setup; the

F2 on screen will be highlighted to illustate that the system is pro-

cessing the request) during the

POST (or press F7 for boot options). If you get a

“Keyboard Error”, (usually because you pressed

F2 too quickly) just press F2 again.

If the computer is already on, reboot using the

Ctrl + Alt + Delete combination and

then hold down

F2 when prompted. The Setup main menu will appear.

To see the boot options press

F7.
