Using the BIOS Setup Utility

configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system

Press <F2> to enter setup
When the Setup Utility is entered, the Main screen is displayed. However, serious errors
cause the system to display the Error Manager screen instead of the Main screen.
Setup Navigation Keyboard Commands
The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used to
navigate through the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times.
Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Each feature is associated with a
value field, except those used for informative purposes. Each value field contains
configurable parameters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect by the
password, a menu feature’s value may or may not be changed. If a value cannot be
changed, its field is made inaccessible and appears grayed out.
