Overview

NOTE: Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options available in the system setup program, thus overriding options that you set through the system setup program. (An exception is the Fn Key Emulation option, which you can disable or enable only through the system setup program.) For more information on configuring features for your operating system, access the Help and Support Center (see "Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista Help and Support Center" on page 16).

You can use the system setup program as follows:

•To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your computer password

•To verify information about the computer's current configuration, such as the amount of system memory

After you set up the computer, run the system setup program to familiarize yourself with your system configuration information and optional settings. You may want to write down the information for future reference.

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer, such as:

•System configuration

•Boot order

•Boot (start-up) configuration

•Basic device-configuration settings

•System security settings

NOTE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical support, do not change the system setup settings. Certain changes might make your computer work incorrectly.
