If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load into memory, let the system complete the load operation; then shut down the system and try again.

NOTE: To ensure an orderly system shutdown, consult the documentation that accompanied your operating system.

You can also enter the System Setup program by responding to certain error mes- sages. See “Responding to Error Messages” at the end of this chapter.

The two System Setup screens, Page 1 and Page 2, display the current setup and con- figuration information and optional settings for your system. (Typical examples are illustrated in Figure 2-1.) Information on the two System Setup screens is organized in five boxed areas:

‡Title box

The box at the top of both screens lists the system name, page number (Page 1 or Page 2), and the revision number of the basic input/output system (BIOS).

‡Configuration options

The box on the left half of both screens lists the options that define the installed hardware in your computer.

Fields beside the options contain options or values; those that appear bright on the screen can be changed. Options or values that you cannot change because they are determined by the system appear less bright.

Some options have multiple fields, which may show options or values as bright or less bright depending upon what options or values you entered in other fields.

‡Help

The box on the upper-right half of both screens displays help information for the option with a currently highlighted field.

‡System data

The box in the lower-right corner of both screens displays information about your system.

‡Key functions

The line of boxes across the bottom of both screens lists keys and their functions within the System Setup program.
