BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook notebook.
Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change
the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
•
Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.
•
System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:
1
Turn on or restart your LifeBook notebook.
2
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open
the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.
3
Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter
the current settings.
The Boot Menu can also be invoked by pressing the [F12] key when the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen.
