Using the System Setup Program

Overview

NOTE: Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options available in the system setup program, thus overriding options that you set through the system setup program. For more information on configuring features for your operating system, see the Help and Support Center. To access help, see page 9.

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer, such as:

•System configuration

•Boot order

•Boot (start-up) configuration and docking-device configuration settings

•Basic device configuration settings

•System security and hard-drive password settings

NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical support, do not change the settings for the system setup program. Certain changes might make your computer work incorrectly.

Viewing the System Setup Screens

1Turn on (or restart) your computer.

2When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F2> immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer (see page 28) and try again.
