Entering BIOS with external keyboard

The keyboard went out on my Dell Latitude CP mst233ST I believe is the model. I was wondering how , or if it's even possible to enter the BIOS with an external keyboard. I ordered a new keyboard for it, but am still waiting for it to arrive.. till then, is this possible? I tried f1-f12 quickly, but it seems no go.. I'm trying to boot off of a bootable cd and it just skips it and goes to windows. Thanks.

lear,

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.

Yes, you should be able to access the BIOS with an external keyboard.

Would you happen to know what key I need to press to do so? Thanks :)

 

It says press function X to enter a setup, but theres no function on the external keyboard, or is there ?

 

Thanks again.

Press the F2 function key. The function keys are the ones at the top of the keyboard.
