To enter
Setup
, turn on the com-
puter and press
F2
during the
POST
. The prompt seen in Fig. 3 –
1 is usually present for a few sec-
onds after you turn on the system.
If you get a “Keyboard Error” (usu-
ally because you pressed
F2
too
quickly) just press
F2
again.
If the computer is already on, reboot
using the
Ctrl
+
Alt
+
Delete
combination and then hold down
F2
.
Setup’s
main menu will appear.

The
Setup
interface looks like a
“windows” screen:
Along the top of the screen is a
menu bar with six (6) menu head-
ings. When you select a heading, a
new screen appears. Scroll through
the features listed on each screen
to make changes to
Setup
.
Instructions on how to navigate
each screen are in the box along the
bottom of the screen. If these tools
are confusing, press
F1
to call up a
General Help
screen. Then use the
arrow keys to scroll up or down this
page.
