Starting the SETUP Program

When you start your computer, it performs some power-on diagnostics. During these diagnostics, you may see the following message:

P r e s s < F 2 > t o e n t e r S E T U P

(In SETUP, you can disable this message, if desired.)

Press F2 to run SETUP. This message is only on the screen for a few seconds. If you missed it, restart the computer and try again.

If the system detects an error in your configuration, you hear two beeps and see an error message followed by this message:

P r e s s < F l > t o r e s u m e , < F 2 > t o S e t u p

Press F2 to run SETUP.

SETUP displays the Main Menu. From this menu, you can select the various options to identify your system’s configuration and then save your new values to CMOS. If you change your mind, you can cancel any changes you have made and restore the default values stored in ROM or load the values previously stored in CMOS.

The table below lists the keys you can use to perform SETUP operations.
