•Configure PCI Devices.

security menu

Sub-menus are presented for changing the characteristics and values of the System Administrator Password, User Password, Power-on Password, Fixed Disk Boot Sector and for preventing unauthorized start-up from the Floppy, CD-ROM and IDE-HDD drives (refer to “setting hardware passwords in the hp setup program” on page 31).

boot menu

Select the order of the devices from which you want the BIOS to attempt to boot the operating system. The QuickBoot mode option allows the system to skip certain tests while booting. This decreases the time needed to boot the system.

power menu

The Network Interface option enables the system to return to normal speed when a specific command is received by the network interface.

Setup changes system behavior by modifying the power-on initialization parameters. Setting incorrect values may cause system boot failure. Should this occur, press F9 to load the Setup default values to recover.
