Using System Setup

Main Menu

Main Menu

A pointer symbol appearing to the left of a field indicates that you can open a submenu from this field. A submenu contains additional options for a field. To open a submenu, highlight the field and press [Enter]. Use the same keys to enter values and move from field to field within submenus as you use within menus.

When you highlight a field, information about the field appears on the right side of the screen. System Setup also provides a General Help screen that can be opened from any menu by pressing [F1] or [Alt+H]. The General Help screen lists the navigation keys with their corresponding alternates and functions.

When a scroll bar appears to the right of a help window, more information is available than can be displayed in the window. Use the [PgUp] and [PgDn] keys or the [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] keys to scroll through the entire help document. Press [Home] to display the first page, or press [End] to go to the last page. To exit the help window, press [Enter] or [Esc].

If your computer will not boot after you have changed settings in System Setup and exited the program, reboot and press [F2] to reenter System Setup. Once in System Setup, you can try to change the values that caused your computer boot to fail. If the problem persists, press [F9] to load the default values.

When you open System Setup, the Main menu appears. You can make changes to your computer’s basic system configuration from this menu. The fields displayed in this menu are described below.
