Configuring Your Notebook
To run the BIOS Setup utility
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup utility enables you to make
changes to the notebook system configuration, and to tailor the operation of your
notebook to your individual work needs.
The settings made in BIOS Setup generally control the notebook hardware, and
so greatly affect how the notebook operates.
1. Click Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart.
2. When the logo screen appears, press
F2 to enter BIOS Setup.
3. The pointing devices are not active in BIOS Setup, so you will need to use
the keyboard to navigate:
Press the left and right arrow keys to move among menus.
Press the
up and down arrow keys to move among parameters in a menu.
Press + or – to move through values for the current parameter, or
press
enter to change a setting.
4. After you select the options you want, press
F10 or use the Exit menu to
exit BIOS Setup.
5. If the settings cause a conflict between devices during reboot, the system
prompts you to run BIOS Setup, and marks the conflicting settings.
For a complete list of BIOS Setup menus, settings, and options, see the
Reference Guide on the Documentation Library CD included with your notebook.
