Chapter Six: Configuring & Maintaining Your
System
Setup Program
Your WinBook XP5 Pro system should have arrived all ready to run, but you still should have some
familiarity with your system and how it is set up. While you do not need to be a computer technician
to use the Setup program, you should not make any changes to the Setup program until you have read
this section and are familiar with the details of the Setup program. This program stores information
which can be crucial to the proper operation of your system, so you should try to be aware of what the
effects will be of any changes that you make. Since the Setup program is the primary site for
customizing power management in your WinBook XP5 Pro, you will want to become familiar with
this part of your system.
The Setup program writes information about the equipment, security and power management of your
computer directly into ROM (Read-Only Memory) in the computer's hardware (it is stored in the
computer's BIOS chip). When you turn on your computer, it first looks at this information to see what
the physical system has available for its use.
Access to the Setup menu is during the boot process. When you first start the computer, you will be
offered the chance to enter the Setup mode (by pressing the [F2] key). If you wish to enter after the
computer has booted, you will need to exit Windows 95 (or whatever operating system you are
running). You can restart the computer by selectin
g Shut Down in the Start menu, then selecting the
restart option. When the computer starts to reboot, press the [F2] key to enter the program.
[Sidebar: Eyeball icon: If you change the equipment in your WinBook XP5 Pro (e.g. adding RAM or
switching hard drives), the system will detect this and prompt you to enter the Setup program at your
next boot. Enter Setup and allow the system to make the necessary changes to reflect your new
equipment.]
Main Menu
Once you have entered the Setup program, you will be greeted by the "Main Menu."
