Service manual
Using the System Setup Program: Dell Latitude CP
If the computer detects no diskette in the diskette drive, it tries to boot from the hard-disk
drive. If the computer encounters a diskette without the required boot files or detects a
problem with the diskette drive, it displays an error message.
● Hard Disk Only - Causes your computer to boot only from the hard-disk drive.
If it fails to boot from the hard-disk drive for any reason, your computer does not attempt
to boot from the diskette drive.
For a change in the Boot Sequence option to take effect, you must reboot your computer.
Boot Speed
Boot Speed allows you to choose between the computer's processing speed (the default) and
Compatible, a slower compatibility speed. The compatibility speed varies, depending on the
configuration of your system.
When you change the setting in the Boot Speed option, the System Setup program stores and
continues to display the new setting even if you do not reboot your computer when you exit the
System Setup program. If you start the System Setup program again during your current work
session, the processing speed displayed for the Boot Speed option may not match the actual
speed at which your computer is running.
For a change in the Boot Speed option to take effect, you must reboot your computer.
Brightness
Brightness allows you to specify the brightness of the display when the computer is operating
on battery power. Use the left- and right-arrow keys to change the brightness of the display.
When the computer is powered by a battery, the default setting for Brightness is the minimum.
If the computer is using AC power, the default setting is maximum.
A change to the Brightness option becomes effective immediately (rebooting is not required).
Click Volume
Click Volume allows you to disable or adjust the volume of the keyboard clicks if the Keyboard
Click option is enabled. The degault setting for Click Volume is maximum.
A change to the Click Volume option takes effect immediately (rebooting is not required).
