The two System Setup screens, Page 1 and Page 2, display the current setup and con-
figuration information and optional settings for your system. Typical examples are
illustrated in Figure 4-1. Information on the two System Setup screens is organized in
five boxed areas:
‡
Title box
The box at the top of both screens lists the system name, page number (Page 1
or Page 2), and the revision number of the basic input/output system (BIOS).
‡
Configuration options
The box on the left half of both screens lists the categories that define the
installed hardware in your computer.
Fields beside the categories contain options or values; those that appear bright
on the screen can be changed. Options or values that you cannot change
because they are determined by the system appear less bright.
Some categories have multiple fields, which may show options or values as
bright or less bright depending upon what options or values you entered in other
fields.
‡
Help
The box on the upper-right half of both screens displays help information for the
category with a currently highlighted field.
‡
System data
The box in the lower-right corner of both screens displays information about your
system.
