The BIOS setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. In this

following chapter will describe how to access the BIOS setup program and the

configuration options that may be changed.

3.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads

the system information contained in the NVRAM and begins the process of checking out

the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on

one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

By pressing immediately after switching the system on, or

By pressing the key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the

screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the

system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the

system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing , , and

keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error

message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
