Using System Setup 51
A pointer symbol appearing to the left of a field indicates that you can open a
submenu from this field. A submenu contains additional options for a field. To
open a submenu, highlight the field and press <Enter>. Use the same keys to enter
values and move from field to field within submenus as you use within menus.
When you highlight a field, information about the field appears on the right side of
the screen. System Setup also provides a General Help screen that can be opened
from any menu by pressing <F1> or <Alt+H>. The General Help screen lists the
navigation keys with their corresponding alternates and functions.
When a scroll bar appears to the right of a help window, more information is
available than can be displayed in the window. Use the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys
or the <Up Arrow> and <Down Arrow> keys to scroll through the entire help
document. Press <Home> to display the first page, or press <End> to go to the last
page. To exit the help window, press <Enter> or <Esc>.
If your computer will not boot after you have changed settings in System Setup and
exited the program, reboot and press <F2> to reenter System Setup. Once in
System Setup, you can try to change the values that caused your computer boot to
fail. If the problem persists, press <F9> to load the default values.
