Configuring the OmniBook with the BIOS Setup
Utility
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup utility is a menu-driven
utility that lets you change the system configuration and tailor the
operation of your OmniBook to your individual work needs.
Some settings made in the BIOS Setup utility control the hardware and
consequently have a fundamental effect on how the OmniBook operates.
This section describes the BIOS Setup utility menus and options in detail.
To run the BIOS Setup utility
1. Close all applications, then shut down Windows and restart the
OmniBook.
2. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
3. The pointing devices are not active in the BIOS Setup utility. Press the
RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys to change menus. Press the DOWN and
UP arrow keys to move among parameters in a menu. Press F5 or F6 to
change values for the current parameter or press ENTER to change a
setting. See the tables below for more information.
4. After you select the options you want, press F10 or use the Exit menu
to exit the BIOS Setup utility.
If settings cause a conflict between devices during reboot, the system
prompts you to run BIOS Setup, and the conflicting settings are
marked.
