The System Setup menu appears.

If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load into memory,
let the computer complete the load operation; then restart the computer and
try again.

NOTE:

To ensure an orderly system shutdown, consult the documentation that

accompanied your operating system.

System Setup Screens

The system setup screens display the current configuration information for
your computer. Information on the screen is organized into four areas:

Title — the box at the top of all screens that lists the computer system

name.

Computer data — two boxes below the title box that display your

microprocessor

,

L2 cache

,

service tag number

, and the version number

of the

BIOS

.

Options — a scrollable box listing options that define the

configuration of your computer, including installed hardware, power

conservation, and security features.

Fields to the right of the option titles contain settings or values. Those

that you can change appear bright on the screen. Those that you

cannot change (because they are set by the computer) appear less

bright. When

appears to the right of an option title, press

to access a pop-up menu of additional options.

Key functions — a line of boxes across the bottom of all screens that

lists keys and their functions within system setup.

Help — press for information in the currently highlighted

option.

The following table lists the keys you use to view or change information in
