Chapter 3: BIOS configuration

Load Setup Values Resets the BIOS values to the original, default values set

at the factory, before any suppliers or other end users

made changes.

Discard Changes Loads the system with the values that existed before this

editing session started. You do not exit.

Save Changes Saves to CMOS the edits you made during this session

but does not exit the Setup program.

Exit & Update BIOS Updates the BIOS from a floppy disk.

For detailed information about updating the BIOS from a

floppy disk, see Appendix F, Re-programming the

flash chip.

Note: Select this exit option only if you obtained BIOS

update replacement software from your supplier and

reviewed the documentation and procedures provided with

that distribution.

This option changes the flash contents only if the

vendor-supplied floppy is installed.

If you select this option by mistake, changes made to the

BIOS are lost unless already saved using the Save Current

Values option. The system automatically seaches for the

update program that should be on the floppy disk inserted

in drive A. If no floppy exists, cycle power to reset the

system to its previous state.

CMOS Save & Restore

sub-menu

Displays a menu that controls how the system handles

CMOS values. For more information, see CMOS Save and

Restore sub-menu on page 42.
