Accessing the Setup Program

Accessing Setup From an Application

You can load the ROM-based Setup Program directly from any application program by
pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Esc keys. This method is not recommended unless the computer
will not boot otherwise because the computer restarts (reboots) when you exit the Setup
Program and erases all data in memory.

Caution:

Save all work in progress before accessing the Setup Program from

an application program. The computer restarts when It exits the Setup Program,
erasing the contents of memory.

Making Selections on the Menus

menus.
