System Setup Screens

The system setup screen displays current or changeable configuration information for your computer. Information on the screen is divided into three areas: the options list, active options field, and key functions.

Options List — This field appears on the left side of the system setup window. The field is a scrollable list containing features that define the configuration of your computer, including installed hardware, power conservation, and security features.

Scroll up and down the list by using the up and down arrow keys. As an option is highlighted, the Option Field displays more information about that option and the option’s current and available settings.

Option Field — This field contains information about each option. In this field you can view your current settings and make changes to your settings.

Use the right- and left-arrow keys to highlight an option. Press <Enter> to make that selection active.

Key Functions — This field appears below the Option Field and lists keys and their functions within the active system setup field.
