Loading the Default Settings
When you purchase an Aptiva computer, it is already configured for use. The original configuration settings, also called factory or default settings, are stored in the CMOS. Setup includes an option Load Default Settings that lets you reload the original configuration at any time.
If you have made changes in Setup but would like to restore the default settings, follow these steps:
1. From the main menu, highlight the option Load Default Settings then press Enter. A dialog box appears confirming if you want to load the default settings.
2. Use the left arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter.
3. Press Esc to exit Setup. A dialog box appears confirming if you want to save the CMOS settings (in this case, the default settings that you reloaded).
4. Use the left arrow key to select Yes, then press Enter to save the changes in CMOS.
You must load the Setup default settings In the following instances:
- When you replace the system battery
- When you customize your system configuration settings and some resource assignments conflict causing the computer to hang
