BIOS Utility
The computer has a BIOS Utility that allows you to configure the computer and its hardware settings.
NOTE: The computer is also bundled with a Windows 95-based computer management utility
similar in function to the BIOS Utility, called the Notebook Manager.
The computer is already correctly configured. If you make any changes to the computer or you receive
an Equipment Configuration Error message (error code 246) after you power-on the computer, you
need to run the BIOS Utility.
The BIOS Utility has the following functions:
- Change the system date or time
- Set the power-saving modes and timers
- Set, change, or remove a system password
- Change the system boot drive or display device
- Add or remove serial and parallel devices
- Set the video display features
Press F2 while the ThinkPad logo is being displayed to enter the BIOS Utility. The main screen
displays.
NOTE: If the Setup password is set, you need to enter the Setup password to gain access
to the BIOS Utility.
There are four main menu items:
- Basic System Settings
- System Security
- Power Management Settings
- Load Setup Default Settings
