Overview
HINT: 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 your Microsoft® Windows Help or Windows Help and Support Center.
You can use the system setup program as follows:
To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your password
To verify information about your computer's current configuration, such as the amount of
system memory
After you set up your computer, run the system setup program to familiarize yourself with your system
configuration information and optional settings. Dell recommends that you write down the information
for future reference.
NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical
support, do not change the settings for this program. Certain changes might make your
computer work incorrectly.
