Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Your notebook has a BIOS setup utility which allows you to configure important
system settings, including settings for various optional functions of the computer.
This chapter explains how to use the BIOS setup utility.
BIOS Setup Menu
The BIOS setup Utility allows you to configure your computer’s basic settings. When
you turn your computer on, the system reads this information to initialize the
hardware so that it can operate correctly. Use the BIOS setup utility to change your
computer’s start-up configuration. For example, you can change the security and
power management routines of your system.
Starting the BIOS Setup Utility
You can only enter the BIOS setup utility as the computer is booting, that is between
the time you turn on the computer and before the Windows interface appears. If
your computer is already on, shut down your computer completely (power off) and
restart it and then press the Del key to enter the setup utility.
