System Setup Screens
The system setup screen displays current or changeable configuration information for your computer.
Information on the screen is divided into three areas: the options list, active options field, and key
functions.
System Setup Options
NOTE: Depending on your computer and installed devices, the items listed in this section may or may not appear.
Options List — This
field appears on the left
side of the system setup
window. The field is a
scrollable list containing
features that define the
configuration of your
computer, including
installed hardware, power
conservation, and
security features.
Scroll up and down the
list by using the up and
down arrow keys. As an
option is highlighted, the
Option Field displays
more information about
that option and the
option’s current and
available settings.

option. In this field you can view your current settings and
make changes to your settings.
Use the right- and left-arrow keys to highlight an option.
Press <Enter> to make that selection active.
Key Functions — This field appears below the Option
Field and lists keys and their functions within the active
system setup field.
