About the BIOS Setup utility

The computer’s BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several basic computer characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed RAM and are retained even when the power is off.

Important The computer starts very quickly. If your monitor requires time to warm up, you may not see the messages. If you are having problems, you may need to wait for the monitor to warm up and then restart the computer. If you are trying to enter Setup, press F1 before the monitor warms up.
