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 should be 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

Change the configuration of internal devices

System security feature parameters, such as passwords

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure

If there has been a change in system configuration that does not agree with 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 isn’t too severe, it will give you the opportunity to modify the settings of the setup utility, as described in the following steps:

1.When you turn on or restart the computer there is a beep and/or the following message appears on the screen:
