Using the BIOS Setup Utility

Your notebook has a BIOS setup utility which allows you to configure important system settings, including settings for various optional functions of the computer. This chapter explains how to use the BIOS setup utility.

BIOS Setup Menu

The BIOS setup Utility allows you to configure your computer’s basic settings. When you turn your computer on, the system reads this information to initialize the hardware so that it can operate correctly. Use the BIOS setup utility to change your computer’s start-up configuration. For example, you can change the security and power management routines of your system.

Starting the BIOS Setup Utility

You can only enter the BIOS setup utility as the computer is booting, that is between the time you turn on the computer and before the Windows interface appears. If your computer is already on, shut down your computer completely (power off) and restart it and then press the F2 key to enter the setup utility.
