Using the System Setup Program: Dell Latitude CP
If the computer is using the Microsoft Windows 95 operating sytem, you can also use
the Dell Control Center to view and change the system configuration. Access the Dell
Control Center from the Dell Accessories folder. See the topic titled "Del Control
Center" in the online System User's Guide for more information. The Dell Control
Center also contains detailed help that gives you all the information you need to set
options.
Entering the System Setup Program
Enter and use the System Setup program as follows:
If you are using Windows 95, press <Fn><F1> at any time on the built-in keyboard (or <Scroll
Lock><F1> on an external keyboard if the External Hot Key option is enabled). If you press
<Fn><F3> (or <Scroll Lock><F3> on an external keyboard if the External Hot Key option is
enabled), the System Setup program opens directly to the battery status screen.
If you are using Windows NT 4.0 or any other operating system that is not Plug and Play
aware, close all open application programs and exit the operating system. When prompted,
reboot the computer and press <Fn>< F1> (or <Scroll Lock><F1> from an external keyboard if
the External Hot Key option is enabled). If you wait too long and your operating sytem begins
to load into memory, let the system complete the load operation; then shut down the system
and try again.
In either operating system, press <Esc> to exit the System Setup program. If you change the
setting of an option that requires rebooting in order to take effect, exit the operating system
before rebooting. (The Help text in the upper-right corner of System Setup screens 1, 2, and 4
tells you if the computer must be rebooted.)
NOTE: If the System Setup program is running when the computer enters suspend
mode, the computer exits the System Setup program and then activates suspend
mode.
