System Setup Screens
System setup screens display current configuration information for your computer. Information on the screen is organized into four areas:
•Title — the box at the top of all screens that lists the computer name
•Computer data — two boxes below the title box that display your computer processor, L2 cache, service tag, and the version number of the BIOS
•Options — a scrollable box listing options that define the configuration of your computer, including installed hardware, power conservation, and security features
Fields to the right of the option titles contain settings or values. The fields that you can change appear bright on the screen. The fields that you cannot change (because they are set by the computer) appear less bright. When <Enter> appears to the right of an option title, press <Enter> to access a popup menu of additional options.
•Key functions — a line of boxes across the bottom of all screens that lists keys and their functions within system setup
