1. BIOS setup

BIOS SETUP UTILITYThe BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. YourBIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or changethe 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 UtilityTo 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 ofthe BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus toreview or alter the current settings.

Navigating Through The Setup UtilityThe BIOS setup utility consists of seven menus; Main, Advanced, Security, Power, Boot, Info andExit. This document explains each menu, 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 nexthigher selec-tion and [F5] or [-] to go to the next lower selection.

Entering the Setup Utility After a Configuration Change or System FailureIf there has been a change in the system configuration that does not agree with the parametersettings stored in your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system, the system beeps and/ordisplays an error message after the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not too severe, it willgive 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 appearson 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 processand start the operating system anyway, press the [F1] key.

3. If an error message is displayed on the screen, and you want to enter the setup utility, press theF2] 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 currentparameters values.

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.

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 willbe asked to verify this selection before it is executed.

9. Pressing the [F1] key gives you a general help screen.

Critical PointSelecting a field causes a help message about that field to be displayed on the right-handside of the screen.Pressing the Enter key with the highlight on a selection that is not a submenu or auto selectionwill cause a list of all options for that item to be displayed. Pressing the Enter key again willselect the highlighted choice.

CAUTIONIf your notebook beeps a series of beeps that sounds like a code and the display is blank,please refer to the Troubleshooting Section. The Troubleshooting Section includes a list oferror messages and their meanings.

Critical PointIf your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the operatingsystem will be opened.

Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced MenuThe Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu provides the ability to set the I/O addresses andinterrupt levels for the serial, infrared and parallel ports of your notebook.

CAUTIONI/O addresses, DMA channels and Interrupt levels can be entered in various ways, includingvia the BIOS setup utility, the control software for the I/O device, or the hardware. If any twoports or devices, serial or parallel, have the same I/O address assigned, your notebook willnot function normally. Please keep a record of original settings before making any changes inthe event that a restoration is required. See your hardware and software documentation aswell as the setup utility to determine settings, limitations, etc.

Critical PointTo prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings.

CAUTIONThe BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next to each devicethat is in conflict.

Critical PointAll I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.

Critical PointIn Windows 98 Auto-suspend Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout, and Video Timeout features areavailable exclusively through the operating system.When resuming from a Save-to-Disk suspension there will be a delay while the contents ofsystem memory and operating parameters are loaded from the hard drive.

CAUTIONIn Save-to-Disk mode there is no indication on the Status Indicator to let you know you aresuspended rather than shut off from the power switch. You may want to make a habit of alwaystrying the Suspend/ Resume button before using the power switch.Wake-on-Modem ring when enabled will draw power from the bridge battery alone when yoursystem is running off battery power. This may potentially drain your bridge battery. DisablingWake-on-Modem ring will prevent this from happening.
