ThinkPad Setup
Your computer provides a program, called ThinkPad Setup, that enables you to select various setup
parameters.
To start ThinkPad Setup, do as follows:
1. To protect yourself against accidental loss of data, back up your computer registry. See “Performing
backup and recovery operations” on page 109.
2. If the diskette drive is connected to the computer, remove any diskette from the diskette drive, and
then turn off the computer.
3. Turn on the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press the F1 key. The ThinkPad Setup opens.
If you have set a supervisor password, the ThinkPad Setup menu appears after you enter the password.
You can start the ThinkPad Setup by pressing Enter instead of entering the supervisor password;
however, you cannot change the parameters that are protected by the supervisor password. For more
information, refer to “Using Passwords” on page 89
.
An example of the ThinkPad Setup menu is shown as below:
4. Using the cursor keys, move to an item you want to change. When the item you want is highlighted,
