BIOS SETUP UTILITY

therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS
environment to operate your notebook.

• Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
• System Data Security feature parameters, such
as passwords.

Change or System Failure
If there has been a change in the system configuration
that does not match the parameter settings stored
in your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system,
the system beeps and/or displays an error message after
the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not
too severe, it will give you the opportunity to modify
the settings of the setup utility, as described in the
following steps:
1. When you turn on or restart the computer there is
a beep and/or the following message appears on
the screen:

you want to continue with the boot process and start
the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.
