SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

UTILITY (SCU)

The BIOS System Configuration Utility (SCU) is a

program that sets up the operating environment for

your notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for

normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need

to set or change the BIOS environment to operate your

notebook.

The SCU configures:

Device control feature parameters, such as changing

I/O addresses and boot devices.

System Data Security feature parameters, such

as passwords.

Entering the System Configuration Utility

To enter the BIOS SCU, do the following:

1. Turn on or restart your notebook.

2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on

the screen. Note that this occurs almost immediately

when the system boots up, so have your finger on the

F2 button when the boot starts. Pressing F2 opens

the main menu of the SCU with the current settings

displayed.

3. Press the [Enter] key to enable the dropdown

menus, then press the right arrow or left arrow

cursor key to scroll through the other setup menus

to review or alter the current settings.

Navigating Through the SCU

The BIOS SCU consists of five dropdown menus:

Startup, Memory, Disks, Components, and Exit. This

document explains each menu in turn, including all

submenus and setup items.

The following procedures allow you to navigate the

utility menus:

1. To select a menu, use the left and right cursor keys:

[

], [

]

2. To select a field within a menu or a submenu, use the

up and down cursor keys:

[ ], [ ].

3. This automatically selects the field upon which the

prompt rests. Click OK to select the choice, or

Cancel to exit the screen without making the

change.

4. To activate a submenu press the [Enter] key.

5. To return to a menu from a submenu, press the

[Esc] key.

6. To go to the Exit menu from any other menu, press

the [Esc] key.

P O I N T

Selecting a field or submenu causes a help message

about that field to be displayed on the bottom of the

screen.

Entering the SCU After a Configuration

Change or System Failure

Each time the system boots, the BIOS performs diag-

nostic testing of the various system components. During

a standard implementation, if the BIOS detects an error,

one of the following events occurs:

A message with the prefix "WARNING" is displayed

informing the user where the error occurred. Follow-

ing the message, the prompt "Press F1 to continue" is

displayed. The system pauses until the user presses F1.

A message with the prefix "FATAL" is displayed

informing the user where the error occurred. Follow-

ing the message, the system emits a series of beeps. The

system then halts execution.

The system emits a series of beeps. The system then

halts execution.

Warning messages are considered "non-fatal" errors,

indicating that a potential problem exists such as a

system configuration error. When F1 is pressed, the

system should resume execution. Non-fatal errors can be

corrected by the user.

Fatal errors (those that emit a beep and may also display

a "FATAL" message) indicate that the BIODS has

stopped the system from continuing operation due to a

severe problem such as a hardware failure. Fatal errors

do not allow the system to resume execution. All fatal

errors generate a series of beeps whether a message is

displayed or not. See "Beep Codes" in the Trouble-

shooting section of your system User's Guide for more

information.
