2.2 Computer Setup
Computer Setup is used to configure Compaq computers and is selected from the Compaq Utilities
menu. It is preinstalled on the hard drive and is also available on diskette. Setup gives a snapshot of
the computer's hardware configuration, aids in troubleshooting, and allows you to set custom
features. Computer Setup recognizes a newly installed internal or external device and automatically
updates the Computer Setup screen.
To run Setup, complete the following steps:
1. From the Compaq Utilities menu, select the Computer Setup option.
A Setup screen is displayed. It may take a few minutes for the computer to generate this
information.
The screen lists the hardware that is configurable in the configuration memory and that is
currently used by the system with the exception of a tape drive. Alongside each option is a
summary of the current configuration.
You may display or reconfigure any of the detailed information provided.
2. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to highlight menu items, the Tab key to select buttons, and the
Enter key to select the desired items.
3. After making the desired change, select OK to save the change and return to the Computer Setup
menu.
