BIOS Utility

The BIOS Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your
computer’s BIOS (basic input/output system).

do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter
configuration problems, you may need to run it.

To activate the BIOS Utility, press

during the POST (power-on self-

test) while the TravelMate logo is being displayed.
