System Setup

Overview

CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not

change the settings in the system setup program. Certain

changes can make your computer work incorrectly.

NOTE: Before you change system setup, it is recommended that you write

down the system setup screen information for future reference.

Use system setup to:

• Get information about the hardware installed in your computer, such as the

amount of RAM, the size of the hard drive, and so on.

• Change the system configuration information.

• Set or change a user-selectable option, such as the user password, type of

hard drive installed, enabling or disabling base devices, and so on.

Entering System Setup

1 Turn on (or restart) your computer.

2 During POST, when the DELL logo is displayed, watch for the F2 prompt to

appear and then press F2 immediately.

NOTE: The F2 prompt indicates that the keyboard has initialized. This

prompt can appear very quickly, so you must watch for it, and then

press F2. If you press F2 before the F2 prompt, this keystroke is lost.

If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue

to wait until you see the operating system’s desktop. Then, turn off

your computer and try again.

System Setup Options

NOTE: Depending on your computer and its installed devices, the items

listed in this section may or may not appear.
