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. Shortly after the computer restarts the following prompt appears on the
computer display, “
