Accessing the Setup Program

NOTICE: To avoid data loss, exit any application programs before rebooting the computer to enter the Setup program.

To access the Setup program, turn on the computer and press <F2> as soon as you see the Dell logo screen and before the Windows logo screen appears. The computer reboots automatically when you exit the Setup program.

The Main menu of the Setup program shows how the computer is configured. In addition to the Main menu (see Figure B-1), you can also access the System Devices menu, Security menu, Power menu, Boot menu, and Exit menu.

NOTE: When you press <F9>, the computer resets the default values for each option in that menu. When you press <F10>, the computer saves the current settings and exits the Setup program.
