Chapter 245 BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built in the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) of computer. Generally speaking, the 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. Otherwise, you can also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises. Invoking BIOS Setup To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when “Press to enter Setup” message is prompted on the left-bottom side of the screen). There are six prime items in the BIOS Setup Utility. They are Information, Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit. In the coming pages, we will explain the BIOS Setup Utility by item. Note: During setup, all Fn function keys and power saving function are disabled. PartDescription Information Display the system informations. Main Allows the user to specify standard IBM PC AT system parameters. Advanced Provides advanced setting of the system. Security Provides security setting of the system. Boot Allows the user to specify the boot options. Exit Allows the user to save CMOS setting and exit Setup. System UtilitiesChapter 2
46Chapter 2 Buttons Hotkeys •Fn + F1 (Help Menu): This hotkey will cause a help message on the screen that describes the definitions and functions of the unit’s hotkeys. •Fn + F2 (Launch Acer eSetting): This hotkey will launch the Acer eSetting utility. •Fn + F3 (Launch Acer ePower Management): This hotkey will launch the Acer ePower management utility. •Fn + F4 (Sleep Button): It is assigned as the Sleep Button in ACPI mode. Users can set the definition of Sleep Button in Windows Power Options. •Fn + F5 (Display Toggle): It’s used to switch the display device at run-time. The detail behavior is defined in Acer Display Mode Specification v0.02. •Fn + F6 (Display Blank): This hotkey will make the LCD backlight turned off. This provides both a quick security features and some power savings. The LCD backlight will be turned on again when any of the following events occurs: •Any key pressed (not include USB keyboard) •Pointing device moved (not include USB mouse) •Fn + F7 (Touchpad On/Off): This hotkey will cause the internal touchpad to be disabled/enabled. •Fn + F8 (Speaker On/Off): It’s assigned to turn on and turn off the audio output. •Fn + F11 (Number Lock): The NumLock feature is a standard AT keyboard feature. In Acer system, the NumLock is off by default and for the internal keyboard as numeric keypad lock when the NumLock is on. If an external keyboard or keypad is linked, the NumLock will have the following limits: •NumLock is on when the system boots with external keyboard or numeric keypad. The external keyboard or keypad NumLock status is on and internal keyboard overlay numeric keys are disabled. •NumLock key can be typed on or off via the internal keyboard (Fn + F11) or the external keyboard or keypad, but NumLock affects the external keyboard or keypad only. •The NumLock shift state (NumLock is off) is NOT used for the cursor movement by the internal keyboard numeric keys. •The state of the NumLock is not changed by the linkage and removal of the external keyboard or keypad. This is to support the linkage of an external numeric keypad. It permits the users for full alphabet typing with the internal keyboard, and the external keypad for numeric typing. •Fn + F12 (Scroll Lock): The Scroll Lock is a standard AT keyboard feature. •Fn + K (Volume Up): It is assigned to increase the volume. •Fn + L (Volume Down): This hotkey is used to decrease the volume. •Fn + J (Brightness Up): It is assigned to increase the brightness of the LCD backlight. •Fn + I (Brightness down): It is used to decrease the brightness of the LCD backlight. •Fn + (Home): This is a standard AT keyboard feature. When it is pressed, the cursor on the screen will skip to the beginning of the line. •Fn + (End): It is a standard AT keyboard feature. When it is pressed, the cursor on the screen will skip to the end of the line.

Chapter 247 Power Button The Power button should act as the ACPI defined Power button and users can determine its policy through the OS setting like Windows Power Options. The override feature should be supported to allow the unconditional shutdown by pressing the Power button for more than four seconds. Lid Switch The function of Lid switch is defined as below: •The LCD backlight should be turned off when the Lid switch is pressed. The LCD backlight will be lighted when the Lid switch is released again. This function is irrelevant to OS and should be always true when the system is powered on. •When the system is running under ACPI mode, the function of the Lid switch should follow the OS setting. Auto-Dim The system supports an automatic dimming of the LCD brightness when the AC power source is not available (running on battery power). However, the users still can manually adjust the LCD brightness by their need. The current user setting of brightness (along with current power source) will be saved across power down and be restored at the next boot or resume.

The changes in these two items take effect immediately. •System Memory: This item reports the memory size of system base memory. The size is fixed to 640KB. •Extended Memory: It reports the memory size of the extended memory in the system. The extended memory size is equal to total memory size (one MB). •Video Memory: It indicates the video memory size. •Quiet Boot: •Enabled: Customer Logo is displayed, and Summary Screen is disabled. •Disabled: Customer Logo is displayed, and Summary Screen is enabled. •Power on Display: •Auto: During power on process, the system will detect if any display device is connected on external video port.

In other words, when the system is rebooted, the boot device sequence will be the same as the one defined in the BIOS setup (Boot option). •D2D Recovery: It allows the users to enable or disable the disk-to-disk recovery. •Processor Power Management: To save power in working state, the OS leads the CPU to low-power states (C1, C2 and C3) when the OS is idle. In the low-power state, the CPU does not run any instructions, and wakes up when an interruption, such as the OS scheduler’s timer interruption, occurs.
