BIOS Settings
The SD37P2 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify basic
system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it re-
tains Setup information even if the system power is turned off.
The system BIOS manages and executes a variety of hardware related functions
including:
System date and time
Hardware execution sequence
Power management functions
Allocation of system resources
Enter the BIOS
To enter the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) utility, follow these steps:

Self Test) routine checks.

Press DEL to enter SETUP, or simultaneously press <Ctrl>,<Alt>,

Note 1. If you miss the train of words mentioned in step2 (the message disap-
pears before you can respond) and you still wish to enter BIOS Setup,
restart the system and try again by turning the computer OFF and
ON again or by pressing the <RESET> switch located at the
computer’s front-panel. You may also reboot by simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>,<Alt>, <Del> keys simultaneously.
