IBM 2196, 2197, 6344 Working with the Setup menus

BIOS Setup configuration 6-5

Working with the Setup menus

The Configuration/Setup Utility menu appears immediately after you press F1.

Configuration/Setup Utility menu

The Configuration/Setup Utility menu lists system configuration options. When you

select one of these options, a menu for that option appears.

An option usually has only one menu, although some can have more than one. In

options with multiple menus, use the PgDn and PgUp keys to move from one menu

to another.

The following table lists specific keys on the keyboard that will help you move

through the Setup menus.

Note: The Configuration/Setup Utility menu that you see on

your computer may look slightly different from the menu

shown here, but the options will operate just the same.
