Basic System Configuration
4-8 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Selecting the User Option
Choose the User option when you have installed a hard disk that was
previously formatted but does not use the disk native parameters or structure.
That is, the disk type may be in the hard disk types list but the number of
cylinders, heads, and sectors differ.
Cylinder Head Sector
Hard Disk 0 (xxx MB) [User] xx xx xx
To configure a hard disk with the User option, follow these steps:
1. Highlight the hard disk drive parameter.
2. Select the option User then press Enter.
3. Type in the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors of the hard disk drive,
under the appropriate columns.
Note: Be sure to have the correct hard disk information beforehand.
4. Choose YES when asked if you want to save the CMOS data.
System Memory
The system automatically detects the total amount of onboard memory during
the POST and sets the memory parameters accordingly. If you install
additional memory, the system automatically adjusts the Total Memory
parameter to display the new memory size.
Communication Settings
The Communication Settings parameters permit you to set the baud rate,
parity, stop bit and data length for the first serial port (COM 1). The values
for this parameter are:
Baud rate: 300 to 38400 bits per second (bps)
Parity: Odd, even, or none
Stop bit: 1 or 2 stop bits
Data length: 7- or 8-bit data word
