Computer Setup
Using Computer Setup
Computer Setup is a preinstalled, ROM-based utility that can be
used even when the operating system is not working or will not
load. If the operating system is working, the notebook restarts the
operating system after you exit Computer Setup.
✎
An external keyboard or mouse connected by USB can be used in
Computer Setup only if USB legacy support is enabled. For more
information about USB, refer to the “External Devices” chapter
in the
Hardware Guide
on this CD.
The menu tables later in this chapter provide an overview of
Computer Setup options.
