features of your notebook to fit your operating needs
and to view the current data security configuration. (See
Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more
information.)
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a
row causes the keyboard and mouse to be
locked out and the warning [System Dis-
abled]to be displayed. If this happens,
restart the computer by turning off and on the
power with the power switch and use the cor-
rect password on reboot.
The following tables show the names of the menu fields
for the Security Menu and its submenus, all the options
for each field, the default settings and a description of
the field's function and any special information needed
to help understand the field's use. The default condition
is no passwords required and no write protection.
If you make an error when re-entering the
password a Warning will display on the
screen. To try again press [Enter], then retype
the password. Press [Esc] to abort the pass-
word setting process.
If Security Panel on Resume is Enabled and
the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not
have to type your password upon resuming
the system from the Suspend or Save-to-
Disk modes. Power Management Security
will work only if Password boot is enabled.
Remember your passwords! If you set
and forget your User and Master hard
disk passwords, Fujitsu Computer
Systems will not be able to reset it. You
may lose data and have to replace your
system board or hard disk drive.

then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. (You can also change the order by tapping the
spacebar to move the item up.) Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is not installed. Tapping [x]

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
Excluded from boot order:
: USB HDD
: USB MEMORY:
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, drive alloca-
tions change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM becomes
Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard drive is not present or is disabled.
The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: des-
ignator is always reserved for the internal drive. The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your
application software will use the new designations.
