3-2 Configuring the Stylistic LT Pen Tablet System
Permanent and Current BIOS Settings 3
Some BIOS configuration utilities allow you to select permanent and/or current settings when
configuring BIOS options. When you change a permanent setting, BIOS parameters stored in CMOS
memory are changed and the new setting is applied after the system is restarted. When you change a
current setting, BIOS parameters stored in dynamic memory are changed and the new setting is applied
for the current session. Also, note that a change to the current setting only remains in effect until the
system is restarted or shut down.
BIOS code resides in the system’s CMOS memory. When the system is powered on, BIOS code is copied
or “shadowed” into the system’s dynamic memory and the system runs using BIOS parameters stored in
dynamic memory.
BIOS Setup 3
BIOS Setup is a configuration utility that you can use to change your system’s permanent BIOS settings.
The BIOS Setup application is stored in the BIOS flash ROM. (BIOS Setup values or settings are stored in
CMOS memory.) Instructions for starting and running BIOS Setup are given in the following discussions.
Starting BIOS Setup 3
To start BIOS Setup,
Restart your system and when the following message is displayed,
Double-tap the pen or press F2 to enter Setup
double-tap the pen on the display screen or press F2 on your external keyboard.
The system starts BIOS Setup and the BIOS Setup main menu is displayed. Note that the system can be
configured to start without displaying the message above. If this is the case, you must attach an external
keyboard and hold down the F2 key while you start your system until the BIOS Setup screen is displayed.
Options and settings for menus in BIOS Setup are described in tables appearing later in this chapter.
