Setup
program is accessed by pressing the key during the
POST
. Online help for an item on the
Setup
screen
can be obtained by highlighting the item (refer to

inactivity. Refer to
“Power Management in the BIOS” on page 29.

The
Setup
program changes system behavior by modifying the power-on initialization parameters. Setting incorrect
values may cause system boot failure. Should this occur, press the key while you are in the
Setup
program to load
the
Setup
program’s default values. This should enable the computer to boot properly.
HP strongly recommends that you make a note of any changes you make while in the
Setup
program.
