settings of your computer, regardless of which operating system you are
using. However, the operating-system settings might override any similar
settings in the Setup Utility program.

Starting the Setup Utility program

To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:

1. If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, shut

down the operating system and turn off the computer.

2. Press and hold the F1 key then turn on the computer. When you hear

multiple beeps, release the F1 key.

Notes:
a. If you are using a USB keyboard (including wireless keyboard) and

the Setup Utility program does not display using this method,
repeatedly press and release the F1 key rather than leaving it pressed
when turning on the computer.

b. If a user password or an supervisor password has been set, the Setup

Utility program menu is not displayed until you type your password.
For more information, see “Using passwords.”
