system to enter Computer Setup. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and
again press F10 before the unit boots to the operating system to access the utility.

Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate heading, then press Enter. Use the arrow (up and
down) keys to select the option you want, then press Enter. To return to the previous screen,
press Esc.
4. To apply and save changes, press the F10 key.
If you have made changes that you do not want applied, press the F5 key to return to the
previous values.
To load optimized default values, press the F7 key.
CAUTION: Do NOT turn the computer power OFF while the ROM is saving the Computer Setup
