BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS environment to operate your notebook. The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
Selecting a field causes a help message about that field to be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen. Pressing the Enter key with the highlight on a selection that is not a submenu or auto selection will cause a list of all options for that item to be displayed. Pressing the Enter key again will select the highlighted choice.
Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices. System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, do the following: 1. Turn on or restart your notebook. 2. Press [F2] once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed. 3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.
7. Pressing the [F9] key resets all items in the BIOS to the default values. 8. Pressing the [F10] key saves the current configuration and exits the BIOS Setup Utility. You will be asked to verify this selection before it is executed. 9. Pressing the [F1] key gives you a general help screen.
Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System Failure
If there has been a change in the system configuration that does not agree with the parameter settings stored in your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system, the system beeps and/or displays an error message after the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not too severe, it will give you an opportunity to modify the setup utility settings, as described in the following steps: 1. When you turn on or restart the computer there is a beep and/or the following message appears on the screen: Error message - please run SETUP program Press <F1> key to continue, <F2> to run SETUP 2. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to continue with the boot process and start the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.
Navigating through the Setup Utility
The BIOS setup utility consists of six menus: Main, Advanced, Security, Boot, Info, and Exit. This document explains each menu in turn, including all submenus and setup items. The following procedures allow you to navigate the setup utility menus:
], [ ]. 1. To select a menu, use the cursor keys: [ 2. To select a field within a menu or a submenu, use the
cursor keys: [ ], [ ]. 3. To select the different values for each field, press the [Spacebar] or [+] to change to the next higher selection and [F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection. 4. To activate a submenu press the [Enter] key. 5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press the [Esc] key. 6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu, press the [Esc] key.
If your notebook emits a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section in the system Users Guide. The Troubleshooting Section includes a list of error messages and their meanings. If your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the operating system will be opened.

Main Menu

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to enter the setup utility, press the [F2] key. 4. When the setup utility starts with a fault present, the system displays the following message: Warning! Error message [Continue] 5. Press any key to enter the setup utility. The system will then display the Main Menu with current parameters values.
MAIN MENU SETTING STANDARD SYSTEM PARAMETERS
The Main Menu allows you to set or view the current system parameters. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.) The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Main menu and its submenus, all of the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the fields function and any special information needed to help understand the fields use.
System Time and System Date can also be set from your operating system without using the setup utility. Use the calendar and time icon on your Windows Control panel or type time or date from the MS-DOS prompt.

SECURITY MENU SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit your operating needs and to view the current data security configuration. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.) The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security Menu and its submenus, all of the options for each field, the default settings and a description of the field's function and any special information needed to help understand the field's use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.
If you set a password, write it down and keep it in a safe place. If you forget the password you will have to contact your support representative to regain access to your secured functions and data.
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row causes the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and the warning [System Disabled] to be displayed. If this happens, restart the computer by turning off and on the power with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot. If you make an error when re-entering the password a Warning will display on the screen. To try again press [Enter], then retype the password. Press [Esc] to abort the password setting process. If the Power Management Security is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Management Security will work only if Password boot is enabled. Boot sector protection must be set to [Normal] to install or upgrade an operating system.

User cannot set a password shorter than the minimum length. When set to First Boot, a password (User or Supervisor) is required just once after the Power On Self Test (POST) before the operating system will be read from a disk. When set to Every Boot, a password (User or Supervisor) is required every time after the Power On Self Test (POST) before the operating system will be read from a disk. When set to Disabled no password is required. When disabled, password entry is not required when the system wakes up automatically. When enabled, password entry is required upon wake up. When set to Enabled, the PS/2 mouse and keyboard inputs are locked out upon Resume from Suspend or Save to Disk mode until you enter the password. When set to Disabled no password is required. If no Supervisor Password is set, this feature is not available and no password is required. Supervisor only allows access to boot the computer to removable media after the Supervisor Password is entered. When disabled, the BIOS Flash memory will be write protected.

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu
The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake. A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.
