Using the System Setup Program

Overview

NOTE:

Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options available in the system

setup program, thus overriding options that you set through the system setup program. (An exception is
the

External Hot Key option, which you can disable or enable only through the system setup program.) For

more information on configuring features for your operating system, see the Windows Help and Support
Center. To access the Help and Support Center, see page
13.

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer,
such as:

System configuration

Basic device-configuration settings

System security and hard-drive password settings

Power management settings

Boot (start-up) configuration and display settings

Docking-device settings

Wireless control settings

NOTICE:

Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical support, do

not change the system setup program settings. Certain changes might make your computer work
incorrectly.

Viewing the System Setup Screen

1 Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2 When the DELL™ logo appears, press immediately. If you wait too long and the

Windows logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down
your computer and try again.
