Running the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility enables you to select and store information about the
computer’s hardware and software permanently in the battery-backed memory of the
CMOS RAM. This information takes effect each time the computer boots and can be
changed any time you run setup.
Use the BIOS Setup utility if you experience problems with the hard disk or if you
need to reconfigure or expand the computer. Also, the BIOS Setup utility can be
used to modify the configuration after adding or removing hardware, or changing
computer settings.

factory and will operate properly without additional configuring.
It is important for you to read carefully and understand this
chapter before attempting to modify the computer’s factory
settings. Changing some settings might cause the computer to
