BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the

operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS

is set at the factory for normal operating conditions,

therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS

environment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

• Device control feature parameters, such as changing

I/O addresses and boot devices.

• System Data Security feature parameters, such

as passwords.

to scroll through the other setup menus to review or

alter the current settings.

If there has been a change in 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 severe, it

will give you the opportunity to modify the settings of

the setup utility, as described in the following steps:

beep and/or the following message appears on the

screen:
