I/O Device Configuration (Advanced Menu)
The sub-menus under this item include options to configure the
Serial port A
(Serial Mouse)
,
Serial port B (Infrared) and Parallel (Printer) port
. These
can be left to the default settings, however you may wish to use certain devices
that require settings to be adjusted accordingly. Check the documentation for
any such devices to see what settings are required.
Reset Configuration Data (Advanced Menu)
This item is set to
No
as default. You can change the setting to
Yes
if you have
installed a new add-on which has reconfigured the system, resulting in such a
serious system conflict that the operating system is unable to boot.
Hyper-Threading Technology (Advanced Menu)
Enable Hyper-Threading (it is “
Enabled
” by default) to increase performance
of your computer depending on the hardware and software you use (all the
processor options in this notebook series support Hyper Threading Technolo-
gy).
Hyper Threading is supported fully in Windows XP, but it is strongly
recommended you DO NOT enable this option in other operating sys-
tems
.
Once you have enabled Hyper-Threading, DO NOT disable the op-
tion. (If you do disable the option you will need to reinstall your operating
system.)
