Using the Setup Utility
(Type RS690)

6

The Setup Utility program is used to view and change the configuration 
settings of your computer, regardless of which operating system you are 
using. However, the operating-system settings might override any similar 
settings in the Setup Utility program.

Starting the Setup Utility program

To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:

1.  If your computer is already on when you start this procedure, shut 

down the operating system and turn off the computer.

2.  Press and hold the F1 key then turn on the computer. When you hear 

multiple beeps, release the F1 key.

Notes:

a.  If you are using a USB keyboard and the Setup Utility program does 

not display using this method, repeatedly press and release the F1 
key rather than leaving it pressed when turning on the computer.

b.  If a user password or an supervisor password has been set, the Setup 

Utility program menu is not displayed until you type your password. 
For more information, see “Using passwords.”

The Setup Utility might start automatically when POST detects that 
hardware has been removed or new hardware has been installed in your 
computer.

Viewing and changing settings

The Setup Utility program menu lists items that identify system 
configuration topics. To view or change settings, see “Starting the Setup 
Utility program.”
