This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows

users to configure the system for optimal use.
Users may need to run the Setup program when:

■

An error message appears on the screen at system startup and re-

quests users to run SETUP.

■

Users want to change the default settings for customized features.

Important

• Please note that BIOS update assumes technician-level experience.
• As the system BIOS is under continuous update for better system

performance, the illustrations in this chapter should be held for

reference only.
