7 The BIOS Setup Program 7.1 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 the operation of your Notebook to your individual work needs. A ROM-based configuration utility displays the system's configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in nonvolatile battery backed-up CMOS RAM, which saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the computer is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS. Using easy-to-use menus, you can configure such items as: z Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals z Video display options z Password protection from unauthorized use z Boot devices The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how the Notebook performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the available options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the Notebook. This chapter will guide you through the Setup program by providing clear explanations for all Setup options. A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup program by the factory technicians, so you will very likely have little to worry about for now. However, eventually you may want to customize your system to suit your own performance needs. It is recommended that you read this chapter and become familiar with the adjustments that can be made in the BIOS. The next section explains how to move around in the Setup program, as well as how to specify and save your new settings. A brief discussion of the optional settings among the different submenus follows. 7.2 Navigating through the BIOS Setup Program The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu driven program, which means you can scroll through the various directories and make your selections among the various predetermined choices. If you accidentally make a setting and do not know which one to switch back to, use the BIOS hot keys to return to the previous value. The hot keys are discussed in more detail later in this chapter. When turning on the Notebook for the first time you may get a message prompting you to run the BIOS Setup program. A warning message may appear on the screen if the hardware configuration is changed or the POST fails. This message will inform you of any errors or invalid settings and prompt you to run the Setup program to correct the problem. Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your computer. For example, you may want to make changes to the display option settings or enable the Notebook's password function for security purposes. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes. The list below gives a few examples of reasons why you may want or need to run the BIOS Setup program. z You have set up the computer for the first time and you got a message stating that you should run the BIOS Setup program. z You want to redefine the communication ports to prevent any conflicts. z You want to change the password or make other changes to the security setup. The few examples listed above are by no means a complete list. 7.2.1 Accessing the BIOS Setup program To access the BIOS Setup program, press the F2 key as soon as the computer starts up and you see the INSYDE BIOS screen. The Menu Bar The top of the Setup screen has a menu bar with the following selections: Main Use this menu to make changes to the basic system configuration. Advanced Use this menu to enable and make changes to the advanced features available on your system. Security Use this menu to set User and Supervisor passwords. Boot Use this menu to specify the order in which the Notebook is to check for a device to boot the system. Exit Use this menu to specify how to exit the Setup program. To move between menu bar items, use the [◄] and [►] arrow keys until the desired item is highlighted. For example, if you want to move from the Main menu to the Advanced menu, press the right arrow key [►] once. Item Specific Help At the bottom of the Setup screen, you will notice an item specific help bar. For each item that you select on the menu, the bar informs of its specific function as well as the hot keys related specifically to that item and/or submenu. 7.2.2 Launching submenus A submenu contains additional options for a field parameter. To call up a submenu, simply move the highlight to the desired field and press the [Enter] key. The submenu opens. If you are a first time user or are not familiar with BIOS Setup programs, it is highly recommended that you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with each of the submenus and their corresponding functions. If you accidentally make unwanted changes to the current configuration, go to the Exit menu and select Discard Changes. 7.2.3 Saving Changes and Exiting the Setup Program Refer to the Exit Menu section of this chapter for detailed information on saving changes and exiting the Setup program. 7.3 The Main Menu When the Setup program is accessed, the Information screen appears. Use the down key to select the Main Menu. Enter the Main Menu of the BIOS setup program to make changes to the Notebook's basic system configuration. Each of the fields displayed in this menu is covered below in detail. Date and Time Sets your system to the time that you specify (usually the current time). The format is hour, minute, and second, using the 24-hour clock. Insert the appropriate information. Use the mouse to move between the hour, minute, and second fields. Splash Boot Logo Selecting this option displays the INSYDE BIOS splash logo when you start your computer. If you do not select it, the startup system check sequence is displayed. Use the [SPACE] bar…
