Honeywell VX9 Laptop User Manual


 
BIOS Setup
When ordered, Microsoft Windows is installed on the Thor VX9 before shipping. The default BIOS parameters are configured at
that time. In most cases, it is unnecessary to modify the BIOS parameters.
Generally, it is only necessary to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order of the drives.
This section is not intended to detail all features of the BIOS, instead it is intended to cover the most commonly used setup
options.
Note: Some BIOS parameters described in this section may not be available on all Thor VX9’s.
Caution:
Be very careful when using this utility to modify BIOS Setup parameters. The Thor VX9 may generate unexpected
results when incorrect or conflicting parameter values are entered. Selecting incorrect or invalid options may
require the Thor VX9 to be returned for repairs.
The parameters should only be modified by Information Services personnel or the system administrator.
Note: Make sure there is an uninterrupted power supply connected to the Thor VX9 before accessing BIOS Setup.
Note: Settings are saved temporarily as each parameter activity screen is closed. Changes are saved to CMOS RAM when
Exit With Save is selected and the BIOS setup program closes.
Note: Changed parameter values take effect when the Thor VX9 reboots upon exiting BIOS Setup. If the Thor VX9 does not
automatically reboot upon exit, please reboot the Thor VX9.
Note: Many items, like Power Savings and Keyboard repeat rate/delay may be configured via the Microsoft Windows
Control panel.
