The configuration you define through SETUP is stored in a

special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is

backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off or

reset the computer.

Whenever you reboot the computer, it checks the settings, and

if it discovers a difference between the information in the

CMOS RAM and its actual hardware configuration, it prompts

you to run SETUP. You see a message describing the error as

well as the following prompt at the bottom of the screen:

Press <Fl> to

run

SETUP or <F2> to continue

If this happens, press to run SETUP and correct the

setting.

Another SETUP option displays information about your system

board. This information provides a useful reference about

jumper and DIP switch settings, SIMM configuration, and hot

key combinations. See page 2-17 for more information.

SETUP also lets you restore the default values for your

configuration. This is useful if you have made changes but

don’t want to keep them; you can restore all the default

settings. See “Loading Default SETUP Values” on page 2-17.
