Chapter 2. Using the IBM Setup Utility

The IBM Setup Utility program is stored in the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) of your computer. The IBM Setup Utility program is used to view and change the configuration settings of your computer, regardless of which operating system you are using. However, the operating-system settings might override any similar settings in the IBM Setup Utility program.

Starting the IBM Setup Utility program

To start the IBM Setup Utility program, do the following:

1.If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, shut down the operating system and turn off the computer.

2.Turn on your computer and look for the following prompt on the logo screen:

(To interrupt normal startup, press Enter)

Press Enter when you see the prompt. The Startup Interrupt Menu is displayed.

3.Press F1 to start the IBM Setup Utility.

Note: If a user password is set, you must type the password to continue. If an administrator password has been set, you cannot make any changes to configuration using the IBM Setup Utility program until you type your administrator password. See “Using passwords” on page 22 for more information.

The IBM Setup Utility might start automatically when POST detects that hardware has been removed or new hardware has been installed in your computer. A sample of the first IBM Setup Utility screen is shown here.
