System Setup

Overview

Use System Setup to:

• change the system configuration information after you add, change, or

remove any hardware in your computer.

• set or change a user-selectable option such as the user password.
• read the current amount of memory or set the type of hard drive installed.

Before you use System Setup, it is recommended that you write down the

system setup screen information for future reference.

CAUTION:

Do not change the settings in system setup unless you are an expert

computer user. Certain changes can cause your computer to work incorrectly.

Entering System Setup

1 Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2 When the DELL logo appears, press immediately.

NOTE:

Keyboard failure may result when a key on the keyboard is held down

for extended periods of time. To avoid possible keyboard failure, press and

release in even intervals until the system setup screen appears.

If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to

wait until you see the Microsoft

Windows

desktop, then shut down

your computer and try again.
