• To read the current amount of memory or set the type of hard drive installed

Before you use system setup, it is recommended that you write down the system setup screen

information for future reference.

NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not change the settings for this program. Certain

changes can make your computer work incorrectly.

CPU Clock Speed With this option, it is possible to increase the operating frequency of the

processor to a frequency greater than that in the processor manufacturer’s

design specifications. Use of this option may invalidate your warranty.

NOTICE: Dell does not recommend using extended operating

frequencies or over-clocking. If you choose to over-clock your

processor, the life expectancy of your processor may be reduced. Dell

does not guarantee that your computer will remain stable or operate at

the extended operating speeds.

Admin Password This option provides restricted access to the computer's system setup

program in the same way that access to the system can be restricted with the

System Password option.

System Password Displays the current status of the system's password security feature and

allows a new system password to be assigned and verified.

Power Management

AC Recovery Determines what happens when AC power is restored to the computer.

Auto Power On Sets the computer to automatically turn on. Choices are every day or every

Monday through Friday.

The default setting is Off.

This feature does not work if you turn off your computer using a power strip

or surge protector.

Auto Power Time Sets time to automatically turn on the computer.

Time is kept in a 24-hour format (hours:minutes). Change the start-up time

by pressing the right- or left-arrow key to increase or decrease the numbers,

or type numbers in both the date and time fields.

This feature does not work if you turn off your computer using a power strip

or surge protector.

Suspend Mode The options are S1, a suspend state where the computer is running in a low-

power mode, and S3, a standby state where the power is reduced or turned

off for most components, however, system memory remains active.

Maintenance

Load Defaults This setting restores the computer’s factory-installed default settings.

Event Log Displays the system event log.

POST Behavior

Fastboot When set to On (default), your computer starts more quickly because it

skips certain configurations and tests.

Numlock Key This option involves the rightmost bank of keys on your keyboard. When set

to On (default), this option activates the numeric and mathematical

features shown at the top of each key. When set to Off, this option activates

the cursor-control functions labeled on the bottom of each key.

POST Hotkeys This option allows you to specify the function keys to display on the screen

when the computer starts.

Keyboard Errors This option disables or enables keyboard error reporting when the computer

starts.

Appendix 135

Boot Sequence

This feature allows you to change the boot sequence for devices.

Option Settings

•

Diskette Drive —

The computer attempts to boot from the floppy drive. If the floppy disk in the

drive is not bootable, if no floppy disk is in the drive, or if there is no floppy drive installed in the

computer, the computer attempts to boot from the next bootable device in the boot sequence.

•

Hard Drive

— The computer attempts to boot from the primary hard drive. If no operating

system is on the drive, the computer attempts to boot from the next bootable device in the

boot sequence.

•

CD Drive

— The computer attempts to boot from the CD drive. If no CD is in the drive, or

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

if the CD has no operating system, the computer attempts to boot from the next bootable

device in the boot sequence.

•

USB Flash Device —

Insert the memory device into a USB port and restart the computer.

When

F12 = Boot Menu

appears in the upper-right corner of the screen, press <F12>. The

BIOS detects the device and adds the USB flash option to the boot menu.

NOTE: To boot to a USB device, the device must be bootable. To make sure that your device is bootable,

check the device documentation.

NOTE: An error message is generated only after the computer attempts to boot from every device in the

boot sequence and no operating system is found.

Changing Boot Sequence for the Current Boot

You can use this feature, for example, to tell the computer to boot from the CD drive so that

you can run the Dell Diagnostics on the Dell ResourceCD, but you want the computer to boot

from the hard drive when the diagnostic tests are complete. You can also use this feature to

restart your computer to a USB device such as a floppy drive, memory key, or CD-RW drive.

NOTE: If you are booting to a USB floppy drive, you must first set the floppy drive to OFF in system setup

(see "System Setup" on page 131).

1

If you are booting to a USB device, connect the USB device to a USB connector (see "Front

View (Doors Open)" on page 72).

2

Turn on (or restart) your computer.

3

When

F2 = Setup, F12 = Boot Menu

appears in the upper-right corner of the screen,

press <F12>.

If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the

Microsoft Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer (see "Turning Off Your

Computer" on page 69) and try again.

The

Boot Device Menu

appears, listing all available boot devices. Each device has a number

next to it.

136 Appendix

4

At the bottom of the menu, enter the number of the device that is to be used for the current

boot only.

For example, if you are booting to a USB memory key, highlight

USB Flash Device

and press

<Enter>.

NOTE: To boot to a USB device, the device must be bootable. To make sure that your device is bootable,

check the device documentation.

Changing Boot Sequence for Future Boots

1

Enter system setup (see "Entering System Setup" on page 131).

2

Use the arrow keys to highlight the

Boot Sequence

menu option and press <Enter> to access

the menu.

NOTE: Write down your current boot sequence in case you want to restore it.

3

Press the up- and down-arrow keys to move through the list of devices.

4

Press the spacebar to enable or disable a device (enabled devices have a checkmark).

5

Press plus (+) or minus (–) to move a selected device up or down the list.

Clearing Forgotten Passwords

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions

located in the Product Information Guide.

1

Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 69.

2

Locate the 3-pin password jumper (PASSWORD) on the system board (see "System Board

Components" on page 78), and attach the jumper plug to pins 2 and 3 to clear the password.

NOTE: When you receive your computer, the jumper plug is attached to pins 1 and 2.

3

Close the computer cover.

4

Connect your computer and monitor to electrical outlets, and turn them on.
