Computer Setup (F10) Utility

Computer Setup (F10) Utilities

Use Computer Setup (F10) Utility to do the following:

●Change factory default settings.

●Set the system date and time.

●Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration, including settings for processor, graphics,

memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices.

●Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives, optical drives, or USB flash media

devices.

●Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but does not run all of the diagnostic tests run

during a Full Boot. You can set the system to:

❑always Quick Boot (default);

❑periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or

❑always Full Boot.

●Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display status of Power-On Self-Test

(POST) messages. Post Messages Disabled suppresses most POST messages, such as memory

count, product name, and other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the error is

displayed regardless of the mode selected. To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during

POST, press any key (except F1 through F12).

●Establish an Ownership Tag, the text of which is displayed each time the system is turned on or

restarted.

●Enter the Asset Tag or property identification number assigned by the company to this computer.

●Enable the power-on password prompt during system restarts (warm boots) as well as during

power-on.

●Establish a setup password that controls access to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the

settings described in this section.

●Secure integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, or parallel ports, audio, or embedded

NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured.

●Enable or disable removable media boot ability.

●Solve system configuration errors detected but not automatically fixed during the Power-On Self-

Test (POST).

ENWW Computer Setup (F10) Utilities 1

●Replicate the system setup by saving system configuration information on USB flash media device

or other storage media emulating a diskette and restoring it on one or more computers.

●Execute self-tests on a specified ATA hard drive (when supported by drive).

●Enable or disable DriveLock security (when supported by drive).

Using Computer Setup (F10) Utilities

Computer Setup can be accessed only by turning the computer on or restarting the system. To access

the Computer Setup Utilities menu, complete the following steps:

1. Turn on or restart the computer.

2. As soon as the computer is turned on, press F10 when the monitor light turns green to enter

Computer Setup. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.

NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and again

press F10 when the monitor light turns green to access the utility.

3. Select your language from the list and press Enter.

4. A choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu: File, Storage, Security,

Power, and Advanced.

5. Use the arrow (left and right) keys to select the appropriate heading. Use the arrow (up and down)

keys to select the option you want, then press Enter. To return to the Computer Setup Utilities

menu, press Esc.

6. To apply and save changes, select File > Save Changes and Exit.

●If you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Ignore Changes and Exit.

●To reset to factory settings or previously saved default settings (some models), select Apply

Defaults and Exit. This option will restore the original factory system defaults.

CAUTION: Do NOT turn the computer power OFF while the BIOS is saving the Computer Setup (F10)

changes because the CMOS could become corrupted. It is safe to turn off the computer only after exiting

the F10 Setup screen.

Computer Setup—Storage

NOTE: Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware

configuration.

Table 3 Computer Setup—Storage

Option Description

Device Configuration Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.

When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options

may be presented:

Drive Emulation

Allows you to select a drive emulation type for a certain storage device. (For example, a Zip drive

can be made bootable by selecting diskette emulation.)

Emulation Type

ATAPI Zip drive:

●None (treated as Other).

●Diskette (treated as diskette drive).

CD-ROM: No emulation options available.

ATAPI LS-120:

●None (treated as Other).

●Diskette (treated as diskette drive).

Hard Disk:

●None (prevents BIOS data accesses and disables it as a boot device).

●Hard Disk (treated as hard disk).

Translation Mode (ATA disks only)

Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. This enables the BIOS to access

disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older versions

of UNIX (e.g., SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Automatic, Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, User, and

Off.

CAUTION: Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not be

changed. If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active

when the disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.

Translation Parameters (ATA disks only)

NOTE: This feature appears only when User translation mode is selected.

Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used by the

BIOS to translate disk I/O requests (from the operating system or an application) into terms the hard

drive can accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may not exceed

256. The number of sectors per track may not exceed 63. These fields are only visible and

changeable when the drive translation mode is set to User.

SATA Default Values

Allows you to specify the default values for the Translation Mode for ATA devices.
