Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to
use Setup, at some time in the future you may want to change
the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want
to make changes to the power management settings, or for
security purposes, enable the notebook’s password function. It
will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the
Setup Program so that the computer can recognize these
changes.
A few examples of why you may want to enter the Setup
Program follow.
•
You want to redefine the communication ports to
prevent any conflicts.
•
You want to make changes to the Power Management
configuration.
•
You want to change the password or make other
changes to the security setup.
Accessing the Setup Program
To access the Setup Program, press the F2 key when prompted
during bootup. There are three essential elements to the Setup
Program screens: Menu Bar, Item Specific Help Window and
Legend Bar.
