System Setup Program

Overview

NOTE:

Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options

available in the system setup program, thus overriding options that you set through

the system setup program. (An exception is the External Hot Key option, which you

can disable or enable only through the system setup program.) For more information

on configuring features for your operating system, access the Help and Support

Center (click Start

Help and Support).

You can use the system setup program as follows:

• To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your computer

password

• To verify information about the computer's current configuration, such as

the amount of system memory

After you set up the computer, run the system setup program to familiarize

yourself with your system configuration information and optional settings. You

may want to write down the information for future reference.
The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for

your computer, such as:

• System configuration
• Boot order
• Boot (start-up) configuration and docking-device configuration settings
• Basic device-configuration settings
• System security and hard-drive password settings

NOTE:

Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell

technical support, do not change the system setup settings. Certain changes might

make your computer work incorrectly.
