system options through the .sci file. Through this file, you
can notify the system of changes to your hardware and
memory configuration, set and change your passwords,
manage input/output (I/O) ports, and set other system

installed hardware detected by the system. These items
are displayed for your information only; you cannot
change them through the utility.
