Using the System Setup Program

System Setup Screens

Viewing the System Setup Screens

1 Turn on (or restart) your Tablet-PC.
2 When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F2> immediately. If you wait too

long and the Microsoft

®

Windows

®

logo appears, continue to wait until

you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your Tablet-PC and try

again.

NOTE:

For information about a specific item on a system setup screen, highlight the

item and see the Help area on the screen.

On each screen, the system setup options are listed at the left. To the right of

each option is the setting or value for that option. You can change settings

that appear as white type on the screen. Options or values that you cannot

change (because they are determined by the Tablet-PC) appear less bright.
The upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the

currently highlighted option; the lower-right corner displays information

about the Tablet-PC. System-setup key functions are listed across the bottom

of the screen.

Commonly Used Options

Certain options require that you reboot the Tablet-PC for new settings to take

effect.

NOTE:

The information in this document may vary from the selections displayed on

the system setup screens. Review the selections and instructions provided on the

system setup screens for specific directions.

Changing the Boot Sequence

The boot sequence, or boot order, tells the Tablet-PC where to look to find the

software needed to start the operating system. You can control the boot

sequence and enable or disable devices using the Boot Order page of the

system setup program.

NOTE:

To change the boot sequence on a one-time-only basis, see "Performing a

One-Time Boot" on page 143.
