Set Up the UEFI Utility
Set-up Utility Overview The set-up utility is a hardware configuration program built into the universal
extensible firmware interface (UEFI). In this chapter, UEFI replaces Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) to describe the system firmware except where
BIOS is specifically used, such as on a graphical interface.
The UEFI is already configured and optimized so there is no need to run this
utility. However, you can run the set-up utility to do the following:
• Change the system configuration.
• Change the UEFI setup when a configuration error is detected by the
system.
• Redefine communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
• Read the current amount of system memory.
• Change the boot drive order.
• Set or change the password or make other changes to the security
settings.
• Upgrade the system firmware.
• Run the diagnostic utility to determine the cause of system malfunction.
• Restore or back up the operating system.
