Launch Manager

Launch Manager allows you to set the four launch keys located above the keyboard. See “Launch Keys” on page 22 for the location of the launch key.

You can access the Launch Manager by clicking on Start, Programs, and then Launch Manager to start the application.

BIOS Utility

The BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (basic input/output system).

Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run it.

To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during the POST (power-on self- test) while the TravelMate logo is being displayed.
