About the BIOS Setup utility

The computer’s BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several
basic system characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed RAM and
are retained even when the power is off.

Open the BIOS Setup utility by restarting the computer, then pressing F1 when
the Gateway logo screen appears during startup. The Main BIOS Setup utility
screen opens. It may not look exactly like the screen shown below.
