CONFIGURING AND MAINTAINING
YOUR SYSTEM
Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu
driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system
configuration and tailor your system to reflect installed hardware or alter
system performance. When the Notebook is turned back on, the system is
configured with the values stored in CMOS. With easy-to-use menus, you
can configure such items as:
•
Hard drives and peripherals
•
Boot up Drive Sequence
•
Password protection
•
Power Management Features
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect how the
Notebook performs.
Navigating through BIOS Setup
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as
possible. If you accidentally make a setting and don’t know which one to
switch back to, the Setup program has a hot key that allows you to return
to the previous value.
Accessing the BIOS Setup Program
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the DEL key after the
Notebook has run through its POST.
