System Setup

System Setup Overview

System Setup allows you to:

• change the system configuration information after you add, change, or

remove any hardware in your computer.

• set or change a user-selectable option such as the user password.
• read the current amount of memory or set the type of hard drive installed.

Before you use System Setup, it is recommended that you write down the

System Setup screen information for future reference.

CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not change the settings for
this program. Certain changes can cause your computer to work incorrectly.

System Setup Enter

1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the blue DELL logo is displayed, you must watch for the F2 prompt to

appear.

3. Once the F2 prompt appears, press <F2> immediately.

NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized. This prompt can
appear very quickly, so you must watch for it to display, and then press <F2> . If you
press <F2> before you are prompted, this keystroke will be lost.

4. If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to

wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then, shut down your

computer and try again.
