System Setup Screens

Commonly Used Options

Overview

You can use the system setup program as follows:

To set or change user-selectable features

—

for example, your computer password

To verify information about the computer's current configuration, such as the amount of system memory

After you set up the computer, run the system setup program to familiarize yourself with your system configuration information and optional settings. You may

want to write down the information for future reference.

The system setup screens display the current setup information and settings for your computer, such as:

System configuration

Boot order

Boot (start-up) configuration and docking-device configuration settings

Basic device configuration settings

System security and hard-drive password settings

Viewing the System Setup Screens

Turn on (or restart) your computer.

When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F2> immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears, continue to wait until you see the

Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer and try again.

System Setup Screens

On each screen, the system setup options are listed at the left. To the right of each option is the setting or value for that option. You can change settings that

appear as white type on the screen. Options or values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the computer) appear as grey type.

The right side of the screen displays help information for the currently highlighted option; the left side displays information about the computer. System setup

key functions are listed across the bottom of the screen.

Commonly Used Options

NOTE:

Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options available in the system setup program, thus overriding options that you

set through the system setup program. (An exception is the External Hot Key option, which you can disable or enable only through the system setup

program.) For more information on configuring features for your operating system, see your

Help and Support Center

(Help in Windows 2000).

NOTICE:

Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical support, do not change the settings for the system setup

program. Certain changes might make your computer work incorrectly.

Certain options require that you reboot the computer for new settings to take effect.

Turn off the computer.

Turn on the computer. When the DELL logo appears, press <F12> immediately. If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears, continue to wait

until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer and try again.

When the boot device list appears, highlight the device from which you want to boot and press <Enter>.

The computer boots to the selected device.

The next time you reboot the computer, the previous boot order is restored.

Changing Printer Modes

Parallel Mode

option according to the type of printer or device connected to the parallel

connector. To determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation that came with the device.

Setting

Traveling With Your Computer

Identifying Your Computer

Packing the Computer

Travel Tips

Identifying Your Computer

Attach a name tag or business card to the computer, or use a permanent marker or stencil to write a unique identifying mark (such as your driver's

license number) on the computer.

Write down your

Service Tag

and store it in a safe place away from the computer or carrying case. Use the Service Tag if you need to report a loss or

theft to law enforcement officials and to Dell.

Create a file on the Microsoft

Windows

desktop called

if_found

. Place information such as your name, address, and telephone number in this file.

Contact your credit card company and ask if it offers coded identification tags.

Packing the Computer

Remove any external devices attached to the computer and store them in a safe place. Remove any cables attached to installed PC Cards, and

remove

any extended PC Cards

Fully charge the main battery and any spare batteries you plan to carry with you.

Shut down the computer.

Disconnect the AC adapter.

Remove any extraneous items, such as paper clips, pens, and paper, from the keyboard and palm rest and close the display.

Use the optional Dell™ carrying case to pack the computer and its accessories together safely.

Avoid packing the computer with items such as shaving cream, colognes, perfumes, or food.

Protect the computer, the batteries, and the hard drive from hazards such as extreme temperatures and overexposure to sunlight, dirt, dust, or liquids.

Pack the computer so that it does not slide around in the trunk of your car or in an overhead storage compartment.

Travel Tips

Consider disabling wireless activity on your computer to maximize battery operating time. To disable wireless activity, press <Fn><F2>.Consider

changing your

power management

options to maximize battery operating time.

If you are traveling internationally, carry proof of ownership

—

or of your right to use the computer if it is company-owned
