Setup Utility
The Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your
computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Ouput System).
Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not
need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you
may need to run Setup. To activate the Setup Utility, press F2 during POST
(while the Travelmate logo is being displayed).
Navigating the Setup Utility
There are five menu options: Main, Advanced, Security, Power Saving and
Exit. To navigate the Setup Utility:
•
Press the cursor right/left keys
→←
to move between the main menu
items.
• Press Esc while you are in any of the menu options to display the Exit
menu.
•
Press the cursor up/down keys
↑↓
to move between parameters.
•
Press the plus/minus keys +- to change the value of a parameter.
Note: You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square
brackets.
•
Press the Enter key to access a submenu. A > symbol in front of a
parameter denotes an item with a submenu.
Note: Parameter explanations are displayed in the Item-Specific Help
section of the Setup Utility (right panel). Navigation keys are shown
on the bottom of the screen.
