BIOS Setup utility
The BIOS Setup utility is a hardware configuration program built into
your computer's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Since most
computers are already properly configured and optimized, there is no
need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration
problems and get the "Run Setup" message, you will need to run this
utility.
The Setup program loads the configuration values in a battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part
of the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained
when power is turned off.
Note:
If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery
may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration
values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files.
The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup.
