More Information About The PC’s Setup Program
Setup is an integrated (ROM-based) program that displays the PC’s
configuration and allows you to change the configuration parameters.
Setup changes system behavior by modifying the power-on
initialization parameters. Setting incorrect values may cause the PC to
fail at start-up. If this occurs, press F9 in the Setup program. This will
load the Setup default values and allow the PC to recover.
To enter the PC’s Setup program, restart the PC and press F2 when the
Vectra Logo or Kayak logo screen (or the Summary screen) appears.
NOTE FOR
NET VECTRA PCS
To run DiagTools from the hard disk drive, the PC must have
the correct boot (start) configuration. All Net Vectra PCs are
provided with a ready-to-use Hardware Diagnostics dual boot
configuration. For more information, refer to "Starting
DiagTools from the Hard Disk Drive", on page 9.
