Chapter 5: BIOS Utilities

Overview

This chapter gives a brief introduction to the computer’s built-in software:

Diagnostics:

the

POST

(Power-On Self Test)

Configuration:

the

Setup

utility

If your computer has never been set up, or you are making important changes
to the system (e.g. hard disk setup), then you should review this chapter first
and note the original settings found in

Setup

. Even if you are a beginner, keep

a record of the settings you find and any changes you make. This information
could be useful if your system ever needs servicing.

There is one general rule:

Don’t make any changes unless you are sure of

what you are doing

. Many of the settings are required by the system, and

changing them could cause it to become unstable or worse. If you have any
doubts, consult your service representative.
