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: · Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices. · System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

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.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 1. Turn on or restart your notebook. 2. Press the [F2] key 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 and left arrow keys 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 match 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, you will have an opportunity to modify the settings of the utility, 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: Error message - please run SETUP program Press key to continue, 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.
· If your notebook emits a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section of your system User's 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 loaded.
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 [Enter]. 5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press [Esc]. 6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu, press [Esc].

A bootable CD-ROM may have 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 CD-ROM 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, but your application software will use the new designations. Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.

The Serial/Parallel Port Configuration submenu provides the ability to set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the serial (infrared) and parallel ports of your notebook.
I/O addresses, DMA channels, and Interrupt levels can be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS setup utility, the control software for the I/O device, or the hardware. If any two ports or devices have the same I/O address assigned, your notebook will not function normally. · To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. If you must change the settings, you can call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assistance. · The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next to each device that is in conflict. · All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.
