Appendix
Using the System Setup Program
NOTE: Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options
available in the system setup program, thus overriding options that you set through
the system setup program. (An exception is the External Hot Key option, which you
can disable or enable only through the system setup program.) For more information
on configuring features for your operating system, see the Windows Help and
Support Center (Windows XP). To access the Help and Support Center, see page 14.
You can use system setup as follows:
• To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your computer
password
• To verify information about the computer's current configuration, such as
the amount of system memory
After you set up the computer, run system setup to familiarize yourself with
your system configuration information and optional settings. You may want
to write down the information for future reference.
The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings
for your computer, such as:
• System configuration
• Basic device-configuration settings
• Boot (start-up) configuration
NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell
technical support, do not change the system setup program settings. Certain
changes might make your computer work incorrectly.
