System Setup Screens
The three System Setup screens, Page 1, Page 2, and the Device List screen, display the current setup
and configuration information and optional settings for your system. (Typical examples are illustrated in
Figure 1 .) Information on the System Setup screens is organized in five boxed areas:
Title box — The box at the top of both screens lists the system name, page number, and the revision
number of the BIOS.
Configuration options — The box on the left half of both screens lists the options that define the
installed hardware in your system.
Fields beside the options contain settings or values; those that appear bright on the screen can
be changed. Settings or values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the
system) appear less bright.
Some options have multiple fields, which may show settings or values as bright or less bright
depending upon what settings or values you entered in other fields.
Help — The box on the upper-right half of both screens displays help information for the option with a
currently highlighted field.
System data — The box in the lower-right corner of both screens displays information about your
system.
Key functions — The line of boxes across the bottom of both screens lists keys and their functions
within the System Setup program.
