Appendix 119
System Setup Overview
HINT: Your operating
system may automatically
configure most of the
options available in the
system setup program,
thus overriding options
that you set through the
system setup program.
(An exception is the
External Hot Key option,
which you can disable or
enable only through the
system setup program.)
For more information on
configuring features for
your operating system, see
your Microsoft
®
Windows
Help and Support Center.
You can use the system setup program as follows:
• To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your password
• To verify information about your computer's current configuration,
such as the amount of system memory
After you set up your computer, run the system setup program to familiarize
yourself with your system configuration information and optional settings.
Dell recommends that you write down the information for future reference.
The system setup program contains the standard settings for your
computer.
NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by
Dell technical support, do not change the settings for this program. Certain
changes might make your computer work incorrectly.
Viewing the System Setup Screens
1 Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2 When the Dell™ logo appears, press immediately.
If you wait too long and the Windows
®
logo appears, continue to wait
until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer
(see page 42) and try again.
Depending on your computer, you may also be able to enter the system
setup program by pressing at any time while the computer is
running.
System Setup Screens
HINT: To see information
about a specific item on a
system setup screen,
highlight the item and
refer to the Help area on
the screen.
The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings
for your computer. Each screen is laid out with the system setup options
listed at the left. To the right of each option is a field that displays the
setting or value for that option. You can change settings that appear as
white type on the screen. Options or values that you cannot change
(because they are determined by the computer) appear less bright.
