About the BIOS Setup utility
The computer BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several
basic computer characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed
memory and are retained even when the power is off.
Open the BIOS Setup utility by restarting the computer, then pressing F1
before the operating system starts.
Important The Gateway E-1600 system starts up very quickly. Most
monitors require a few seconds to warm up before
anything is visible onscreen. If you need to enter the BIOS
Setup utility, press F1 a few times immediately after turning
on the computer power, even though you cannot see the
Gateway logo screen.
