Accessing ROM-Based Setup
ROM-based Setup resides in internal ROM. It is identical to
disk-based Setup except it does not have any online help.
To access Page 1 of
ROM-based Setup, save any work in
progress, and press CTRL-ALT-ESC. You can then select
parameters as you do for disk-based Setup. The system
reboots even if changes are not made.
Accessing Windows-Based Setup
To access Windows-based Setup, select the Windows
Control Panel in the Main Windows group. Then
double-click the WSetup icon. You can then define
parameters based on the information in the online help and
in this chapter.
Changes to many of the Setup parameters take effect only
at system startup. If you change one of these parameters,
when you save the new Setup parameters, you are
prompted that you need to exit Windows and restart the
computer. To put these changes into effect, double-click on
the Super Shutdown icon to exit Windows, then press
CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart the computer.
Defining Setup Parameters
The three Setup Programs adequately describe what you
need to do to navigate through the menus, use cursor keys,
save parameters, and exit.

Note: The Setup Programs are customized for each model
computer and for any given model may not support all of
the selections described in the following pages.
