System Setup Program: Dell Latitude D620 User's Guide
NOTICE:
Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical
support, do not change the system setup settings. Certain changes might make your computer
work incorrectly.
Viewing the System Setup Screens
1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the DELL logo appears, press <F2> immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows
logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your
computer and try again.
System Setup Screens
In System Setup, primary categories of settings are listed on the left. To view the types of settings in a
category, highlight the category and press <Enter>. When you highlight a setting type, the right side
of the screen displays the value for that setting type. You can change settings that appear as white
type on the screen. Values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the computer)
appear less bright.
System-setup key functions are listed across the bottom of the screen.
Commonly Used Settings
Certain settings require that you reboot the computer for new settings to take effect.
Changing the Boot Sequence
The
boot sequence
tells the computer where to look to find the software needed to start the operating
system. You can control the boot sequence and enable/disable devices using the
Boot Sequence
page, which is located in the
System
category.
NOTE:
To change the boot sequence on a one-time-only basis, see
Performing a One-Time Boot
.
The
Boot Sequence
page displays a general list of the bootable devices that may be installed in your
computer, including but not limited to the following:
