Using the HP Setup Program

Setup is an integrated (ROM-based) program that displays the PC’s
configuration and allows you to set parameters.

Check the configuration when you first use the PC and each time after
you install, remove, or upgrade accessories.

If an error message is displayed, see chapter 5, “Troubleshooting Your
PC”.

NOTE

If you are unable to change the PC’s configuration, check that you
entered the correct password when you started Setup and whether the
Secure switch (system board switch 8) is set to the OPEN position. For
further information on switches refer to “System Board Connectors and
Switches” on page 95.
