5. If you selected Continue in step 4, the Configuration/Setup Utility program
menu appears on the screen. You will see a pointer next to any menu items
that are malfunctioning or that have been changed since the last time you
turned on your computer. If you did not knowingly make a change to a
flagged menu item, there is likely a malfunction in that item. If you made a
change, continue here. If you did not make a change, go to step 5e.
To use the Configuration/Setup Utility program, do the following:
a. Select the menu item that is flagged (or that you wish to view) by pressing
Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓), and then press Enter.
b. A new menu specific to the item that you selected appears. Press Left
Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) to toggle between choices for a menu item.
(Note that each menu item has a Help screen. To view the Help screen,
select the menu item, and then press F1.)
c. When you have finished viewing and changing settings, press Esc to return
to the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu.
d. Before you exit from the program, select Save Settings. When you exit
from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu (see step 5e), your
operating system will start automatically (unless there is an unresolved
problem with the IDE hard disk drive).
Important
If you did not change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, note the following:
You will get an error message if you exit from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program without saving settings. Your
operating system will not start, but the computer will automatically
restart. When the computer restarts, you will get a POST error
message, and then the Configuration/Setup Utility program will
again start automatically.
You will not get an error message if you select save the settings and
exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Your system will save
all settings as they currently appear in the Configuration/Setup
Utility program and your operating system will start (unless there is
an unresolved problem with an IDE device).
e. To exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program, press Esc and follow
the instructions on the screen.
