Configuring Your Notebook
To run the BIOS Setup utility
The BIOS (basic input and output system) Setup utility allows you to make changes
to the notebook system configuration, and to tailor the operation of your notebook to
your individual work needs.
The settings made in BIOS Setup generally control the notebook hardware and affect
how the notebook operates.
1. Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart.
2. When the logo screen appears, press F2 to enter BIOS Setup.
3. The pointing devices are not active in BIOS Setup, so you will need to use the
keyboard to navigate:
• Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move among menus.
• Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to move among parameters in a menu.
• Press + or – to move through values for the current parameter, or press
ENTER to change a setting.
4. After you select the options you want, press F10 or use the Exit menu to exit
BIOS Setup.
5. If the settings cause a conflict between devices during reboot, the system prompts
you to run BIOS Setup and marks the conflicting settings.
