Customizing Your CMOS Settings

This chapter explains how to use the Setup

Utility to modify the CMOS settings. The Setup Utility

displays and allows modification of the GoBook II components and the configuration of devices that are

connected to it. This information is used to test and initialize components at start-up time and to make

sure everything runs properly when the system is operating.

The GoBook II is configured with a set of default values. You may be able to increase system

performance by changing some of the timing values in the Setup Utility, but this can be limited by the

kind of hardware you are using. In certain circumstances, the system may generate an error message that

asks you to make changes to the CMOS settings using the Setup Utility. This happens when the system

finds an error during the POST (Power On Self Test) that it carries out at startup.

CAUTION

It is not recommended that you change any settings since this may cause the unit to not

function properly.

If you are not sure how to configure the CMOS settings

we suggest that you select

Auto

configuration with Optimal Settings on the Main Menu screen, then exit saving changes. This loads

optimized default settings for normal use.

Using the Setup Utility

The Setup

Utility allows you to configure your computer’s basic settings. When you turn your computer

on, the system reads this information to initialize the

hardware so that it can operate correctly. You can

use the Setup Utility to change your computer’s start-up configuration. For example, you can change

your system's security routine.

Starting the Setup Utility

You can only start the Setup Utility shortly after the computer has been turned on or rebooted. To

execute a controlled reboot select Start, shutdown, Restart. Shortl
