BIOS Utility

The BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (basic input/ouput 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. See your online guide for more information.
