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 set-

tings 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.

BIOS Screens

Note that the BIOS
screens pictured on
these pages are intend-
ed for guidance in set-
ting up your system’s
BIOS.

BIOS versions are sub-
ject to constant change
and revision, therefore
your computer’s actual
screens may appear
slightly different from
those pictured on these
pages.
