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, the 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 with 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 left- and right-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.
