Setup Utilities and Diagnostics Features 2.2 Computer Setup Utilities Use Computer Setup Utilities (F10) to: ■ Modify or restore factory default settings. ■ Set the system date and time. ■ Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration including settings for processor, graphics, memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices. ■ Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives, diskette drives, optical drives, or LS-120 drives. ■ Configure the boot priority of IDE (ATA) and SCSI hard drive controllers. ■ Enable Quick Boot which is faster than Full Boot but does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during a Full Boot. You can set your system to: ❏ always Quick Boot (default); ❏ periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or ❏ always Full Boot. ■ Enable or disable Network Server Mode, which allows the computer to boot the operating system when the power-on password is enabled with or without a keyboard or mouse attached. When attached to the system, the keyboard and mouse remain locked until the power-on password is entered. ■ Select POST Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages.

If a POST error occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected. To manually switch to POST Messages Enabled during POST, press any key (except F1 through F12). ■ Establish an Ownership Tag, the text of which is displayed each time the system is turned on or restarted. ■ Enter the Asset Tag or property identification number assigned by your company to this computer. ■ Enable power-on password prompting during system restarts (warm boots) as well as during power-on. ■ Establish a setup password that controls access to Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the settings described in this section. ■ Secure the integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, or parallel ports, audio, or embedded NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured. ■ Enable or disable Master Boot Record (MBR) Security. ■ Enable or disable removable media boot ability. ■ Enable or disable removable media write ability (when supported by hardware). ■ Solve system configuration errors detected but not automatically fixed during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). ■ Replicate your system setup by saving system configuration information on diskette and restoring it on one or more computers. ■ Execute self-tests on a specified IDE (ATA) hard drive (when supported by the drive). ■ Enable or disable DriveLock security (when supported by MultiBay drive). 2-2 336492-005 Service Reference Guide, d500
