Running the Setup Utility
Every time you start your computer, a message appears on the
screen before the operating system loading that prompts you to
“Hit <DEL>if you want to run SETUP”. Whenever you see
this message, press the Delete key, and the Main menu page of
the Setup Utility appears on your monitor.
You can use cursor arrow keys to highlight anyone of options on
the main menu page. Press Enter to select the highlighted option.
Press the Escape key to leave the setup utility. Press +/-/ to
modify the selected field’s values.
Some options on the main menu page lead to tables of items with
installed values that you can use cursor arrow keys to highlight
one item, and press PgUp and PgDn keys to cycle through
alternative values of that item. The other options on the main
menu page lead to dialog boxes requiring your answer Yes or No
by hitting the Y or N keys.
If you have already changed the setup utility, press F10 to save
those changes and exit the utility. Press F1 to display a screen
describing all key functions. Press F6 to install the setup utility
with a set of default values. Press F7 to install the setup utility
with a set of high-performance values.
