Using the HP Setup Program
Use the Setup program to configure your PC (for example: setting up
system and user passwords, installing and upgrading mass storage devices),
and to solve configuration problems.
It is recommended that you take note of any changes to the system setup.
Starting the HP Setup Program
1 Turn on the display and then the PC. If the PC is already turned on, save
your data and exit all programs, then restart the PC.
2 Press F2 while F2 Setup is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
If you fail to press F2 in time and the start-up process continues, you will
need to restart your PC and go through the POST again so you can press
F2 .
The opening screen of the PC’s Setup program is displayed. The Main Menu
presents a list of fields, for example, the installed BIOS version or Date and
Time.
A band along the top of the screen offers a list of menus. A menu is selected
by using either the left or right arrow keys.
Main Menu
The Main Menu presents a list of fields, for example, the installed BIOS
version; “Reset Configuration Data”; “System Time”; “System Date”; “Key
Click”; “Key Auto-Repeat Speed”; Delay Before Auto-Repeat” and
“NumLock at Power-on”.
By default the “Reset Configuration Data” item is set to No. Selecting Yes
will clear the system configuration data and return to the default settings.
Advanced Menu
The Advanced Menu offers a list of sub-menus allowing you to:
• Configure memory caching, USB ports, Integrated I/O Ports and
Integrated Audio Devices
• Enable floppy disk drives, IDE devices (Primary and Secondary)
