BIOS Setup
Your NEC Versa LX computer comes with a hardware program called
BIOS Setup that allows you to view and set system parameters. BIOS
Setup also allows you to set password features that protect your system
from unauthorized use.
Use BIOS Setup to:
!
set the current time and date
!
customize your operating system to reflect your computer hardware
!
secure your system with a password
!
balance your performance needs with power conservation.
How to Enter the BIOS Setup
Access the BIOS utility at power-on. Just press
F2
when the following
prompt appears.
Press <F2> to enter Setup.
When you press
F2
to enter BIOS Setup, the system interrupts the
Power-On Self-Test (POST) and displays the current CMOS RAM
settings.
If the system detects an error during POST, it prompts you with a double
beep and a message: “Press <F1> to resume.” If you press
F1 , the system
enters BIOS Setup automatically. If you want to fix the error, carefully
read the error message that appears above the prompt (taking notes if
you want), and press
F2 . You will see this message if your CMOS
battery becomes fully discharged.
To pause the screen during POST to view the BIOS revision number and
other POST messages, press and hold the Insert key while using the
power button to power on the system.
