System Setup Program

DellLatitudeD620 User's Guide

Overview

Viewing the System Setup Screens

System Setup Screens

Commonly Used Settings

Overview

NOTE: Your operating system may automatically configure most of the options available in

system setup, thus overriding options that you set through system setup. (An exception is the

External Hot Key option, which you can disable or enable only through system setup.) For

more information on configuring features for your operating system, see the Help and Support

Center. See Windows Help and Support Center.

You can use system setup 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 system setup 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

file:///S|/Integration%20Specialist/Hardware%20Docu...ation/Kim%20&%20Jay/Dell%20Laptops/D620UG/setup.htm (1 of 4) [12/4/2008 10:53:59 AM]

System Setup Program: Dell Latitude D620 User's Guide

NOTICE: Unless you are an expert computer user or are directed to do so by Dell technical

support, do not change the system setup settings. Certain changes might make your computer

work incorrectly.

Viewing the System Setup Screens

1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.

2. 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

In System Setup, primary categories of settings are listed on the left. To view the types of settings in a

category, highlight the category and press <Enter>. When you highlight a setting type, the right side

of the screen displays the value for that setting type. You can change settings that appear as white

type on the screen. Values that you cannot change (because they are determined by the computer)

appear less bright.

System-setup key functions are listed across the bottom of the screen.

Commonly Used Settings

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

Changing the Boot Sequence

The boot sequence tells the computer where to look to find the software needed to start the operating

system. You can control the boot sequence and enable/disable devices using the Boot Sequence

page, which is located in the System category.

NOTE: To change the boot sequence on a one-time-only basis, see Performing a One-Time Boot.

The Boot Sequence page displays a general list of the bootable devices that may be installed in your

computer, including but not limited to the following:

file:///S|/Integration%20Specialist/Hardware%20Docu...ation/Kim%20&%20Jay/Dell%20Laptops/D620UG/setup.htm (2 of 4) [12/4/2008 10:53:59 AM]

System Setup Program: Dell Latitude D620 User's Guide

●Diskette Drive

●Modular bay HDD

●Internal HDD

●CD/DVD/CD-RW drive

During the boot routine, the computer starts at the top of the list and scans each enabled device for

the operating system start-up files. When the computer finds the files, it stops searching and starts the

operating system.

To control the boot devices, select (highlight) a device by pressing the down-arrow or up-arrow key,

and then enable or disable the device or change its order in the list.

●To enable or disable a device, highlight the item and press the space bar. Enabled items appear

as white and display a small triangle to the left; disabled items appear blue or dimmed without

a triangle.

●To reorder a device in the list, highlight the device and then press <u> or <d> (not case-

sensitive) to move the highlighted device up or down.

Boot sequence changes take effect as soon as you save the changes and exit system setup.

Performing a One-Time Boot

You can set a one-time-only boot sequence without entering system setup. (You can also use this

procedure to boot the Dell Diagnostics on the diagnostics utility partition on your hard drive.)

1. Shut down the computer through the Start menu.

2. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked), undock it. See the documentation

that came with your docking device for instructions.

3. Connect the computer to an electrical outlet.

4. 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.

5. 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.
