Using Setup
This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the system
configuration defaults. You can run Setup with or without an operating system
being present. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery-backed
CMOS; the rest of the values are stored in flash memory. The values take
effect when you boot the system. POST uses these values to configure the
hardware; if the values and the actual hardware do not agree, POST generates
an error message. You must then run Setup to specify the correct configuration.
Run Setup:
you may run Setup to modify any standard PC AT= system board
feature such as:
❏
Select diskette drive
❏
Select parallel port
❏
Select serial port
❏
Set time/date (to be stored in RTC)
❏
Configure IDE hard drive
❏
Specify boot device sequence
❏
Enable SCSI BIOS
Run SCU, not Setup:
you must run the SCU instead of Setup to do the
following:
❏
Add or remove any ISA board that is not Plug and Play-
compatible
❏
Enter or change information about a board
❏
Set system management threshold values
❏
Alter system resources (such as interrupts, memory addresses,
I/O assignments) to user-selected choices instead of choices
selected by the BIOS resource manager
❏
Specify new values whenever you add or remove memory
