BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information about
your computer such as the date and time, the kind of hardware
installed, and various configuration settings. Your computer uses
this information to initialize all the components when booting up
and functions as the basis for coordination between system
components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause the
system to malfunction. It can even stop your computer from
booting properly. If this happens, you can use the clear CMOS
jumper to clear the CMOS memory used to store the configuration
information, or you can hold down the
Page Up
key while you
reboot your computer. Holding down the
Page Up
key also clears
the setup information.
You can run the setup utility and manually make changes to the
configuration. You might need to do this to configure some of the
hardware that you install on or connect to the mainboard, such as
the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.
