BIOS Setup

To start the BIOS Setup utility:

1.Turn on or restart your computer.

2.Wait until the Mitsubishi Electric logo appears on the screen.

3.Press the F2 key.

4.If you have previously defined a Supervisor password, you are prompted for it before BIOS Setup starts.

If BIOS Setup starts on its own

BIOS Setup might start on its own for three reasons:

♦The power-on self-test (POST) detects a configuration error or fault. This may be signalled by one or more POST error messages. If a persistent fault is indicated, make a note of any error messages and the current configuration settings before calling an authorised maintainer.

♦The CMOS battery may be running down. This may cause spurious POST error messages. If this happens every time you turn on the computer, you may have to change the battery.

♦The computer’s configuration may have changed, for example by the addition of more system memory or an expansion card. In this case you may have to define the new configuration.

Control keys

Use the keys listed in the legend bar at the bottom of the BIOS Setup screen to make your selections or exit the current menu.

Sub-menus are marked by a pointer. To display a sub-menu, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the sub-menu you want, then press ENTER.
