Appendix 137
Using the System Setup Program
Overview
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. To access the Help and Support Center, see page 13.
The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer,
such as:
• System configuration
• Basic device-configuration settings
• System security and hard-drive password settings
• Power management settings
• Boot (start-up) configuration and display settings
• Docking-device settings
• Wireless control settings
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.
