Using the System Setup Program

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 External Hot Key option, which you can disable or enable only through the system setup program.) For more information

on configuring features for your operating system, click Start (or Start in Windows® XP) Help and Support.

You can use the system setup program as follows:

To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your Tablet-PC password

To verify information about the Tablet-PC's current configuration, for example, the amount of system memory

After you set up the Tablet-PC, 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 Tablet-PC, such as:

System configuration

Boot order

Boot (start-up) configuration and docking-device configuration settings

Basic device-configuration settings

System security and hard-drive password 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 Tablet-PC work incorrectly.
