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 tablet PC restarts the

operating system after you exit Computer Setup.

✎

Pointing devices are not supported in Computer Setup; you must

use the keyboard to navigate and make selections.

✎

An external keyboard connected by USB can be used with

Computer Setup only if USB legacy support is enabled. For more

information about USB, refer to the “Connecting a USB Device”

section in the “Hardware Components” chapter in this guide.

The menu tables later in this chapter provide an overview of

Computer Setup options.
