What is the BIOS setting?

    
How can I find out?    

Let's see, there's a BIOS simulator.... That's aT60?

Blue Thinkvantage button during POST, and then F1 (I believe) to get to BIOS setup. If you have Rescue & Recovery set up, this may be a little more involved. From the manual:

   1. To protect yourself against accidental loss of data, back up your
   data and
      computer registry. For details see the "Data backup-and-restore
   tools"
      section of Access Help.
   2. If the diskette drive is connected to the computer, remove any
   diskette
      from the diskette drive, and then turn off the computer.
   3. Turn on the computer; then, while the message, "To interrupt normal
      startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button" is displayed at the
   lower left
      of the screen, press the ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery
      workspace opens.
   4. Click Access BIOS. The System Restart Required window is displayed.
   5. Click Yes. The computer restarts, and the BIOS Setup Utility menu
      appears.
      If you have set a supervisor password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu
      appears after you enter the password. You can start the utility
   by pressing
      Enter instead of entering the supervisor password; however, you
   cannot
      change the parameters that are protected by the supervisor
   password. For
      more information, see the on-board help.

Go to Config | Display and check your settings there.
