3.Select Advanced, select Device Options, select LVDS Panel Select, and then select the manufacturer for the new display panel.

4.Save your settings, exit F10 Setup, and allow the computer to continue to the operating system.

When you change the LVDS setting to the installed panel type, the BIOS reprograms the EDID with the correct data. You must set the panel before the Auto-select setting functions correctly.

Updating SMBIOS Information

When replacing the system board, you must reprogram the SMBIOS information on the affected computer. Failure to reprogram the board will result in eventual failure, such as an activation failure (need to reactivate the system) or a system recovery failure.

To update SMBIOS information in Computer Setup:

1.Turn on or restart the computer.

2.Press Esc while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: If you do not press Esc at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and again press Esc when the monitor light turns green to access the utility.

3.Press F10 to enter Computer Setup.

4.Go to Security > System ID’s.

5.If necessary, press Ctrl+A to initiate edit mode.

6.Edit the fields listed. If the feature byte has data or is not editable, then it was not cleared and cannot be edited.

The label includes spaces after every four characters. You can enter or ignore

 

 

these spaces – their only purpose is to help with data entry. There is a

 

 

character limitation of 40 bytes per line. When you reach this limit, go to the

 

 

next line to continue data entry. BIOS ignores the spaces and lines.

 

 

If you make an error during data entry, the data will not validate, and the

 

 

computer asks you to correct your data input.
