Use Computer Setup (F10) utility to do the following:
● Change factory default settings.
● Set the system date and time.
● Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration, including settings for processor, graphics,
memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices.
● Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives, diskette drives, optical drives, or USB
flash media devices.
● Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during
a Full Boot. You can set the system to:
◦ always Quick Boot (default);
◦ periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or
◦ always Full Boot.
● Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST)

of the mode selected. To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during POST, press any key
(except F1 through F12 ).

on.
● Establish a setup password that controls access to Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the settings
described in this section.
● Secure integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, or parallel ports, audio, or embedded
NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured.
● Enable or disable removable media boot ability.
● Enable or disable legacy diskette write ability (when supported by hardware).
