To access the Setup program, turn on the computer and press <F2> as soon as you
see the Dell logo screen and before the Windows logo screen appears. The computer

addition to the Main menu (see Figure 2-1), you can also access the System Devices
menu, Security menu, Power menu, Boot menu, and Exit menu.
NOTE: When you press <F9>, the computer resets the default values for each option
in that menu. When you press <F10>, the computer saves the current values and
exits the Setup program.
