Configuring & Maintaining
Your System
Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to
make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to reflect installed hardware or alter
system performance. When the Notebook is turned back on, the system is configured with the values
stored in CMOS. With easy-to-use menus, you can configure such items as:
 Hard drives and peripherals
 Boot up Drive Sequence
 Password protection
 Power Management Features
The settings made in the BIOS Setup program intimately affect how the Notebook performs.
Navigating through BIOS Setup
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. If you accidentally make
a setting and don’t know which one to switch back to, the Setup program has a hot key that allows
you to return to the previous value.
