System Setup Screens
The system setup screen displays current or changeable configuration information for your computer.
Information on the screen is divided into three areas: the options list, active options field, and key
functions.
Options List — This
field appears on the left
side of the system setup
window. The field is a
scrollable list containing
features that define the
configuration of your
computer, including
installed hardware,
power conservation, and
security features.
Scroll up and down the
list with the up- and
down-arrow keys. As an
option is highlighted,
the Option Field
displays more
information about that
option and the option’s
current and available
settings. By pressing
<Enter> or the left-
and right-arrow keys,
you can toggle between
a primary topic
(collapsed) and
subtopics (expanded).
Option Field — This field contains information about
each option. In this field you can view and make changes
to your current settings.
Use the right- and left-arrow keys to highlight an option.
Press <Enter> to make that selection active.
Key Functions — This field appears below the Option
Field and lists keys and their functions within the active
system setup field.
