About the Setup Utility
The computer uses the latest Award BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the
main board contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the main board BIOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system
parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the
power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in
CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
T
Hard drives, diskette drives and peripheral
T
Video display type and display options
T
Password protection from unauthorized use
T
Power Management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure
that you understand the Setup Utility options.
