System Setup
Overview
CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not
change the settings in the system setup program. Certain
changes can make your computer work incorrectly.
NOTE:
Before you change system setup, it is recommended that you write
down the system setup screen information for future reference.
Use system setup to:
•
Get information about the hardware installed in your computer, such as the
amount of RAM, the size of the hard drive, and so on.
•
Change the system configuration information.
•
Set or change a user-selectable option, such as the user password, type of
hard drive installed, enabling or disabling base devices, and so on.
Entering System Setup
1
Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2
During POST, when the DELL logo is displayed, watch for the F2 prompt to
appear and then press
F2
immediately.
NOTE:
The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized. This
prompt can appear very quickly, so you must watch for it, and then
press
F2
. If you press
F2
before the F2 prompt, this keystroke is lost.
If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue
to wait until you see the operating system’s desktop. Then, turn off
your computer and try again.
