Chapter 2. Using the IBM Setup Utility program

The IBM Setup Utility program is stored in the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) of your computer. The IBM Setup Utility program is used to view and change the configuration settings of your computer, regardless of which operating system you are using. However, the operating-system settings might override any similar settings in the IBM Setup Utility program.

Starting the IBM Setup Utility program

To start the IBM Setup Utility program, do the following:

1.If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, shut down the operating system and turn off the computer.

2.Turn on your computer and look for the following prompt on the logo screen:

(To interrupt normal startup, press Enter)

Press Enter when you see the prompt.

3.Press F1 to start the IBM Setup Utility.

Note: If a user password is set, you must type the password to continue. If an administrator password has been set, you cannot make any changes to configuration using the IBM Setup Utility program until you type your administrator password. See “Using passwords” for more information.

The IBM Setup Utility might start automatically when POST detects that hardware has been removed or new hardware has been installed in your computer.

Viewing and changing settings

The IBM Setup Utility program menu lists items that identify system configuration topics.

When working with the IBM Setup Utility program menu, you must use the keyboard. The keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen.

Exiting from the IBM Setup Utility program

When you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the IBM Setup Utility program menu (you might have to press Esc several times). If you want to save the new settings, select Save Settings before you exit. Otherwise, your changes will not be saved.

Using passwords

You can use passwords to provide security for your computer and data. There are two kinds of passwords: a user password and an administrator password. You do not have to set a password of either type to use your computer. However, if you decide to set either one, read the following sections.
