BIOS Utility
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the
dealer. There is no need to run Setup when starting the computer
unless you get a Run Setup message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part
of the system RAM.
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 running Setup, have the following information ready:
·
Diskette drive type
The standard type is either a 5.25-inch
1.2-MB or a 3.5-inch 1.44-MB diskette drive.
·
IDE hard disk drive type
The drive information is on a label
pasted on your IDE drive or in the documentation supplied by
the vendor. Refer also to the IDE drive table at the end of this
chapter.
