Changing BIOS Settings Using the F10 Utility
Turn on or restart the thin client.
As soon as the thin client is turned on, press F10
when the “press F10�? prompt appears on the screen to enter the Setup Utility.
|
NOTE:
|
If you do not press F10
at the appropriate time, you must restart the thin client and again press F10
when the F10=Setup
message displays in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. When the F10 POST Screen display is set to zero seconds, it may be necessary to press and hold F10
on the keyboard, then power on the thin client. |
The Setup Utility screen is divided into five menu headings and five task actions.
The Menu Headings are: System Information, Standard CMOS Features, Advanced BIOS Features, Integrated Peripherals, Power Management Setup
The Task Actions are: Load Factory Defaults, Set Administrative Password, Set User Password, Save & Exit Setup, Exit without Saving
Use the arrow keys (up and down or left and right) to select the appropriate heading, and then press Enter
. To return to the Setup Utility menu, press the Esc
key.
To apply and save changes, select Save & Exit Setup
.
If you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Exit without Saving
.
To reset to original factory settings, select Load Factory Defaults
.
| CAUTION:
|
Do NOT turn the thin client power off while the ROM is saving the Setup (F10) changes, because the CMOS could become corrupted. It is safe to turn off the computer only after exiting the F10 Setup screen. |
