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
I/O addresses and boot devices.
System Data Security feature parameters, such
I
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
I
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
I
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
I
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.
