BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System).
Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility.  However, 
if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup.  Please also refer to Chapter 4 
Troubleshooting when problem arises.
To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2
 during POST (while the TravelMate logo is being displayed).
Navigating the BIOS Utility
There are six menu options:  System Information, Basic System Settings, Startup Configuration, Onboard 
Device Configuration, System Security and Loading Default Settings.
To enter a menu, highlight the item using the cursor up/down
 keys, then press Enter
.
Within a menu, navigate through the BIOS Utility by following these instructions:
!Press the cursor up/down
 keys to move between the parameters.
!Press the cursor left/right
 keys to change the value of a parameter.
!Press 
the Esc 
key while you are in any of the menu options to return to the main menu.
NOTE: 
You can change the value of a parameter if it is enclosed in square brackets.  Navigation keys are 
shown at the bottom of the screen.

Startup Configuration
The Startup Configuration screen contains parameter values that define how your computer behaves on 
system startup.
The following table describes the parameters in this screen.  Settings in boldface
 are the default and 
suggested parameter settings.
ParameterDescriptionOptions
Boot Display Sets the display device on boot-up.
When set to 
Auto, the computer automatically 
determines the display device when the computer 
starts up.  If an external display device (e.g., monitor) 
is connected, it becomes the boot display; otherwise, 
the computer ’s display screen is the boot display.  
When set to 
Both, the computer outputs to both the 
computer display screen and an external display 
device if one is connected.Both or Auto 
Screen Expansion When set to enabled, the screen will automatically 
adjust the display to fit the screen when the resolution 
is set to 640 x 480.Enabled or Disabled
Hotkey Beep When enabled, the computer gives off a beep when a 
hotkey (key combination is pressed).Enabled or Disabled
Fast Boot Allows you to define your system’s booting process; 
whether to skip some POST routines or proceed with 
the normal booting process.Enabled or Disabled

Boot Drive Sequence Specifies the order in which the computer starts up 
from.  See the section below.1st: Floppy Disk,

Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd and 3rd ) for bootable drives in your computer.
For example, the default value (1st:Floppy Disk, 2nd:CD-ROM and 3rd:Hard Disk) tells the computer to first 
search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive.  If it finds one present, it boots up from that floppy disk.  If 
not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.  If it cannot boot up from 
the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk.
To set the boot drive sequence, use the cursor up/down keys 
to select a priority level (1st, 2nd and 3rd), then 
use the cursor left/right
 keys to select the device for that priority level.
Onboard Device Configuration
The parameters in this screen are for advanced users only.  You do not need to change the values in this 
screen because these values are already optimized.
The Onboard Device Configuration screen assigns resources to basic computer communication hardware.
The following table describes the parameters in this screen.  Settings in boldface
 are the default and 
suggested parameter settings.
ParameterDescriptionOptions
Serial Port Enables or disables the serial port.
When enabled, you can set the base I/O address and 
interrupt request (IRQ) of the serial port.Enabled or Disabled
