Using the BIOS Setup
Program
The system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) on
your computer has a built-in setup program that
lets you control the special features of your
computer. Configuration information stored in the
BIOS includes the type of peripherals installed,
the startup sequence of the computer, and control
for power management. The battery maintains this
information when the system is turned off.
Starting the BIOS Setup Program
Start the BIOS Setup program by pressing the F1
key after you see the blue HP logo screen during
startup but before Windows 95 starts. You have
only a few seconds to press the F1 key before the
startup process continues.
We recommend that you keep a written copy of
your settings and keep it up to date. If you never
change the BIOS, you don’t need to keep a record.
You can always return to the original factory
defaults by pressing the F5 key, clicking
Exit
Menu , and then clicking Load Setup Defaults .
