Enter the System Setup program as follows:
1. Turn on your system.
If your system is already on, shut it down and then turn it on again.
2. Press immediately when the F2 = Setup prompt appears in the upper-right corner of the
Dell logo screen.
If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load into memory, let the system complete the load
operation; then shut down the system and try again.
NOTE: To ensure an orderly system shutdown, consult the documentation that accompanied your
operating system.
You can also enter the System Setup program by responding to certain error messages. See " Responding to
Error Messages " at the end of this chapter.
