Chapter 4. Using the Setup Utility

The Setup Utility program is used to view and change the configuration settings of

your computer, regardless of which operating system you are using. However, the

operating system settings might override any similar settings in the Setup Utility

program.

Starting the Setup Utility program

To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:

1. Make sure your computer is turned off.

2. Repeatedly press and release the F1 key when turning on the computer. When

you hear multiple beeps or see a logo screen, release the F1 key. The Setup

Utility program opens.

Note: If a password has been set, the Setup Utility program menu will not be

displayed until you type the correct password. For more information, see

“Using passwords.”

Viewing and changing settings

The Setup Utility program menu lists various items about the system

configuration. To view or change settings, start the Setup Utility program. See

“Starting the Setup Utility program.” Then, follow the instructions on the screen.

When working with the Setup Utility program, you must use the keyboard. The

keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen.

Using passwords

By using the Setup Utility program, you can set passwords to prevent

unauthorized access to your computer and data. The following options are

available for you to set a user password or a supervisor password:

v Set User Password

v Change Supervisor Password

You do not have to set any passwords to use your computer. However, using

passwords improves computing security. If you decide to set any passwords, read

the following sections.

Password considerations

A password can be any combination of seven to ten alphabetic and numeric

characters. For security reasons, it is recommended to use a strong password that

cannot be easily compromised. To set a strong password, use the following

guidelines:

v Have at least eight characters in length and contain at least one alphabetic

character and one numeric character

v Setup Utility program passwords are not case sensitive

v Not be your name or your user name

v Not be a common word or a common name
