Customizing Your BIOS Settings
This chapter explains how to use the Setup
Utility
to modify the BIOS settings. The Setup Utility
displays and allows modification of the GoBook Pro components and the configuration of devices that
are connected to it. This information is used to test and initialize components at start-up time and to
make sure everything runs properly when the system is operating.
The BIOS is installed with a set of default values. You may be able to increase system performance by
changing 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.
If you are not sure how to configure the BIOS 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.
