Chapter 5. Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program
This section discusses the Configuration/Setup Utility program that is provided
with your computer. The Configuration/Setup Utility program enables you to view
and change the configuration and setup of your computer, regardless of which
operating system you are using.
Important
Operating systems often provide a way of changing many of the same settings
found in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you do use the operating
system to make changes, be aware that these changes might conflict with or
override any similar settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility Program
1. Start the computer by following steps 1 and 2 on page 21.
2. When the Configuration/Setup Utility prompt appears in the lower-left corner
of the screen, quickly press F1. If you have not set an administrator password,
the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu appears.
If you have set an administrator password, a prompt appears on the screen.
Type the administrator password, and press Enter.
If the computer is protected by both an administrator and power-on password,
you can type either password at the prompt and press Enter. However, if you
need to change settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must
enter the administrator password. Entering the power-on password will only
enable you to view the System Summary and Product Data information of your
computer.
