This chapter is about the notebook’s built-in software:
Diagnostics:
the
POST
(Power-On Self Test)
Configuration:
the
Setup
utility
If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important
changes to the system (e.g. power management features), then you should
review this chapter first and note the original settings found in
Setup
.
Even if you are a beginner, keep a record of the settings you find and any
changes you make. This information could be useful if your system ever
needs servicing.
There is one general rule:
Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of
what you are doing
. Many of the settings are required by the system, and
changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have
any doubts, consult your system dealer.
