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.

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 ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.

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.

P O I N T S

■ 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.

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 the opportunity to modify the settings of the setup 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 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.

P O I N T S

■ 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 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 opened.

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.

Serial/Parallel Port Configuration Submenu of the Advanced Menu

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.

C A U T I O N

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, serial or parallel, have the same address assigned, your notebook will not function normally. Keep a record of original settings before making any changes if restoration is required.

See your hardware and software documentation as well as the setup utility to determine settings and limitations.

P O I N T S

■ 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.

■ If your notebook emits a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank, refer to the

Troubleshooting Section in the system User’s Guide.

The Troubleshooting Section includes a list of error messages and their meanings.

■ All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.

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.

Follow the instructions for Navigating Through the

Setup Utility to make any changes.

(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.

P O I N T

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.

P O I N T S

■ Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row will cause 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 be displayed on the screen. To try again press the Enter key and then retype the password. Press the Esc key 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.

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.
