Making Changes with the Setup Utility
You can change only some of the information that appears on the Setup
Utility screen. The information you can change is always enclosed in
brackets like this: [
Disabled ]. The entries on the screen that you cannot
change provide useful information about the computer and its hardware. For
example, if the mouse is not working or installed incorrectly, the entry will
show if it is disabled or not installed.
Here are the options available on the Setup Utility screens:
System Information: This screen provides a summary of the computer
features. (This is an
information only screen and cannot be changed.)
Video and Monitor: This screen provides information about the installed
video controller and video memory. It also allows you to change the monitor
frequency and refresh rates, if necessary. The monitor frequency setting
affects the monitor’s refresh rate; that is, the rate at which the monitor
redraws the image on the screen. Super VGA (SVGA) and multi-scanning
monitors can refresh text and images faster than other types of monitors.
For more information on monitors and setting the monitor frequency, see
“Hardware Interfaces” on page 1-11.
