some of the timing values in the Setup Utility, but this can be limited by the kind of
hardware
you are using. In certain
circumstances, the system may generate an error message that asks you to make changes to the CMOS settings using
the Setup Utility. This happens when the system finds an error during the POST (Power On Self Test) that it carries out
at startup.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you change any settings since this may cause the unit to not function properly.
If you are not sure how to configure the CMOS settings
we suggest that you select
Auto configuration with Optimal
Settings
on the Main Menu screen, then exit saving changes. This loads optimized default settings for normal use.
Using the Setup Utility
The Setup
Utility
allows you to configure your computer’s basic settings. When you turn your computer on, the system
reads this information to initialize the
hardware
so that it can operate correctly. You can use the Setup Utility to change
your computer’s start-up configuration. For example, you can change your system's security routine.
Starting the Setup Utility
You can only start the Setup Utility shortly after the computer has been turned on or rebooted. To execute a controlled
reboot select Start, shutdown, Restart. Shortly after the computer restarts the following prompt appears on the
computer display, “
DEL:Setup
” Press the
DEL
key when you see the prompt. The prompt will change to "
GO >
Setup
"and the system will start the Setup Utility with the following screen displayed.
