Customizing System Features

Options

The box on the left half of both screens lists options
that define the installed hardware in your computer
(Page 1) and the power conservation and security
features for your computer (Page 2).

Fields next to the options contain settings or values.
You can change those values that appear bright on
the screen. Options or values that you cannot change
(because they are determined or calculated by the
computer) appear less bright.

Help

The box on the upper-right half of both screens dis-
plays help information for the option with a currently
highlighted field.

Computer data

The box in the lower-right corner of both screens
displays information about your computer.

Key functions

The line of boxes across the bottom of both screens
lists keys and their functions within the System
Setup program.

Table 2-1 lists the keys you use to view or change infor-
mation on the System Setup screens and to exit the
program.

For a detailed explanation of each option, see “System
Setup Options” found later in this section.
