Using the BIOS Setup Program
This chapter tells how to use the Setup program that is built into the BIOS. The Setup
program makes it possible to change configuration information (such as the types of
peripherals that are installed) and the boot-up sequence for the system. The Setup
information is stored in CMOS random access memory (RAM) and is backed up by a
battery when power is off.
If the board does not operate as described here, see Chapter 4 for problem
descriptions and error messages.
Record the Setup Configuration
To make sure you have a reference to the Setup values for your system, we
recommend you to write down the current settings and keep this record up-to-date.
