Setup Utility
The Setup Utility is a ROM-based information and customization
utility that can be used even when your operating system is not
working or will not load.
The utility reports information about the computer and provides
settings for startup, security, and other preferences.
Step-by-step instructions for setting specific preferences are
included by topic earlier in this guide. For example, procedures
for setting password and other security preferences are provided
in Chapter 6, “Security.”

1. Turn on or restart the computer in Windows.
2. Before Windows opens and while the “Press <F10> to enter
setup” prompt is displayed in the lower-left corner of the
screen, press
