Chapter 2
Running SETUP and Installing Drivers
If you’ve added options or you want to customize your
computer, you can use a configuration program called SETUP,
which is contained within the BIOS on the system board.
SETUP allows you to change the settings for your hardware
configuration, security options, and power-saving features. The
configuration information you enter is stored in the computer’s
ROM (read-only memory) and is backed up by a battery, so it is
not erased when you turn off or reset your computer.
You may also want to install drivers and utilities for the built-in
PCI IDE interfaces and the built-in PCI local bus video
interface. You only need to install these drivers if you’re using
an operating system other than Windows.
