Updating the CMOS settings in Setup
When you add system board components, such as system
memory modules, your system’s Basic Input/Output System
(BIOS) detects the hardware changes and updates the
CMOS settings automatically. However, if you replace or
remove components, you might receive a message that asks
you to verify if the automatic detection changed the
configuration correctly.
To verify or correct the system configuration settings, enter
Setup. See the section “Entering Setup” on page 5-3.
