Running Computer Setup
Computer Setup automatically recognizes and configures the
system for new Compaq devices. It does this without prompting
you for information about the devices. However, if you add a
memory expansion board, the next time you turn on the computer a
prompt appears notifying you of the new memory configuration.
You can run Computer Setup to view or to change the current
configuration settings. To run Computer Setup, turn on or restart
the computer and press F10 when prompted to do so.
The first Computer Setup screen displays current settings for the
system, ports, and devices. The status bar at the bottom of the
screen gives instructions for navigating and choosing options. The
status bar also displays descriptions as you highlight menus and
menu options.
NOTE: If the main system board is replaced, the serial number on
this screen will change to 0 (zero).
Select one of the menus from the menu bar at the top of the screen
to view or to change configuration settings.
