1.5System BIOS SETUP Program

The notebook uses the Phoenix BIOS Setup program that allows you to set several system configurations in changing the way the system performs. This includes your system time and date, disk drive configuration, I/O device controls, boot drive sequence, and power management settings. The information is then stored in the CMOS RAM chip and will remain permanent unless you change it again. The notebook also uses EPROM Flash BIOS that allows you to update the system BIOS by simply overwriting it using the Phoenix Flash programming utility.

Before boot-up, the system will read the BIOS settings and compare them to the equipment check conducted during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on the screen, and you will then be prompted to run the BIOS Setup Program. Press the <F2> key to run the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS Setup program is organized into five menus which you can select using the <Å> and <Æ> keys. To move from one option to another, you use the up and down arrow keys.

On the BIOS Setup program, you will find the following parts on the screen:

Menu Bar - found on the top line of the screen. Each of the five items has a separate menu screen.

Parameters - found on the left side of the screen. This area lists the parameters and their current settings.

Item Specific Help - found on the right side of the screen. This area describes each parameter and its available settings.

Key Status Bar- the bottom part of the screen. These lines display the keys available to move the cursor, select a particular function and so forth.

The following table lists the keys on how to edit and move around the setup menus inside.
