System Setup Screen
NOTE:
For information about a specific item on a system setup screen, highlight the
item and see the Help area on the screen.
On each screen, the system setup options are listed at the left. To the right of
each option is the setting or value for that option. You can change settings
that appear as white type on the screen. Options or values that you cannot
change (because they are determined by the computer) appear less bright.
The upper-right corner of the screen displays help information for the
currently highlighted option; the lower-right corner displays information
about the computer. System setup key functions are listed across the bottom
of the screen.
Commonly Used Options
Certain options require that you reboot the computer for new settings to take
effect.
Changing the Boot Sequence
The boot sequence, or boot order, 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 Order page of the system
setup program.
NOTE:
To change the boot sequence on a one-time-only basis, see "Performing a
One-Time Boot" on page 215.
The Boot Order page displays a general list of the bootable devices that may
be installed in your computer, including but not limited to the following:
• Diskette Drive
• Internal HDD
