Setup and Diagnostic Utilities Using Computer Setup Computer Setup is a preinstalled, ROM-based utility that can be used even when the operating system is not working or will not load. If the operating system is working, the notebook will restart the operating system after you exit Computer Setup. Because Computer Setup is a non-Windows utility, it does not support the pointing devices on your notebook. When using Computer Setup, make selections and navigate with the keys on your notebook keyboard instead of a pointing device. ✎ An external keyboard connected by USB can be used in Computer Setup only if USB legacy support is enabled. For more information about USB, refer on this CD to the Hardware Guide, "External Device Connections" chapter. The menu tables later in this section provide an overview of Computer Setup options. Accessing Computer Setup The information and settings in Computer Setup are accessed from the File, Security, Tools, and Advanced menus: 1. To open Computer Setup, turn on or restart the notebook. Press F10 while the F10 = ROM Based Setup message is displayed in the lower left of the screen. ❏ To change the language, press F2. ❏ To view navigation information, press F1. ❏ To return to the Computer Setup menu, press esc. 2. Select the File, Security, Tools, or Advanced menu. 6-2 Software Guide
