may need to run Setup.

1 Turn on the notebook. You will see Press <F2> to enter Setup at the bottom of the
screen.
2 Press F2. The BIOS Setup Utility opens.
Navigating the BIOS Setup Utility
There are six menu options in the BIOS Setup Utility: Information, Main, Advanced, Intel,
Security, Boot, and Exit.
To use the BIOS Setup Utility:
• To choose a menu, use the left ← and right → arrow keys.

• Press ESC while you are in any of the menu options to go to the Exit menu.
