More Information About The PC’s Setup Program

Setup is an integrated (ROM-based) program that displays the PC’s

configuration and allows you to change the configuration parameters.

Setup changes system behavior by modifying the power-on

initialization parameters. Setting incorrect values may cause the PC to

fail at start-up. If this occurs, press F9 in the Setup program. This will

load the Setup default values and allow the PC to recover.

To enter the PC’s Setup program, restart the PC and press F2 when the

Vectra Logo or Kayak logo screen (or the Summary screen) appears.

NOTE FOR

NET VECTRA PCS

To run DiagTools from the hard disk drive, the PC must have

the correct boot (start) configuration. All Net Vectra PCs are

provided with a ready-to-use Hardware Diagnostics dual boot

configuration. For more information, refer to "Starting

DiagTools from the Hard Disk Drive", on page 9.
