System Setup
Overview
System Setup allows you to:
• change the system configuration information after you add, change, or remove any
hardware in your computer.
• set or change a user-selectable option such as the user password.
• read the current amount of memory or set the type of hard drive installed.
CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not change the settings for
this program. Certain changes can cause your computer to work incorrectly.
Entering System Setup
1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the blue DELL logo is displayed, you must watch for the F2 prompt to appear.
3. Once the F2 prompt appears, press <F2> immediately.
NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized. This prompt can
appear very quickly, so you must watch for it to display, and then press <F2> . If you
press <F2> before you are prompted, this keystroke will be lost.
4. If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until
you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then, shut down your computer and try
again.
