Viewing the System Setup Screens

1Turn on (or restart) your computer.

Depending on your computer, you may also be able to enter the system

setup program by pressing Manual background at any time while the computer is running.

System Setup Screens

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer. Each screen is laid out with the system setup options listed at the left. To the right of each option is a field that displays the setting or value for that option. You can change settings that appear as white type on the screen. Options or values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the computer) appear less bright.

A box in the upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the currently highlighted option; a box in the lower-right corner displays information about the computer. System setup key functions are listed across the bottom of the screen.

The screens display such information as:

System configuration

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

Basic device configuration settings

Battery charge status

Power management settings

System security and hard-drive password settings
