The two System Setup screens, Page 1 and Page 2, display the current setup and
configuration information and optional settings for your system. (Typical examples are
illustrated in Figure 3-1.) Information on the two System Setup screens is organized in
five boxed areas:
Title box
The box at the top of both screens lists the page number (Page 1 or Page 2) and
the revision number of the basic input/output system (BIOS).
Configuration options
The box on the left half of both screens lists the options that define the installed
hardware in your computer.
Fields beside the options contain settings or values. You can change those that
appear bright on the screen. Settings or values that you cannot change because
they are determined by the system appear less bright.
Some options have multiple fields, which may show settings or values as bright
or less bright depending upon what settings or values you entered in other fields.
