System Setup Screens
NOTE: To see information about a specific item on a system setup screen, highlight the item and refer to
the Help area on the screen.
The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer.
On each screen, the system setup options are listed at the left of the screen. To the right of each
option is 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.
The upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the currently highlighted
option; the lower-right corner displays information about the computer. System setup key
functions are listed across the bottom of the screen.
