To set or change user-selectable features — for example, your password or power management
features
To verify information about your computer's current configuration, such as the amount of system
memory
For some setup options, you must reboot the computer before any changes take effect. Changes for other
options take effect immediately.
NOTE:
If you change an option that is activated by rebooting, the System Setup program displays the
setting you selected rather than the setting currently in effect. You
must
reboot for the new setting to
take effect.
After you set up your computer, run the System Setup program to familiarize yourself with your system
configuration information and optional settings. Dell recommends that you write down the information for
future reference.
NOTE: If the computer uses the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system, you can also use the Dell
Control Center to view and change the system configuration. Access the Dell Control Center from the
Dell Accessories
folder.

Entering the System Setup Program
Enter and use the System Setup program as follows:
For APM operating systems, such as Windows 95, Windows 98 with APM, and Windows NT, press
<Fn><F1> at any time on the keyboard (or <Scroll Lock><F1> on an external keyboard if the
External Hot
Key
option is enabled). If you press <Fn><F3> (or <Scroll Lock><F3> on an external keyboard if the
External Hot Key
option is enabled), the System Setup program opens directly to the
Battery Status
screen.
For ACPI operating systems, such as Windows 2000 and Windows 98 with ACPI, you must enter System
Setup before the operating system loads. Enter System Setup by pressing <F2> when the F2 message
appears during the system boot routine.
Press <Esc> to exit the System Setup program. If you change the setting of an option that requires rebooting
to take effect, exit the operating system
before
rebooting. (The Help text in the upper-right corner of System
Setup screens 1, 2, and 4 tells you if the computer must be rebooted.)
NOTE: If the System Setup program is running when the computer enters suspend mode, the
computer exits the System Setup program and then activates suspend mode.
