6.1 Running the BIOS Setup Program
Your Mini-note is setup and pre-configured. The Mini-note’s BIOS (Basic
Input-Output System) Setup program may be used to change system
configuration information such as the current date and time, or your hard disk

system and pressing the <

Whenever you turn on the Mini-note, the system will read the settings stored in
the CMOS RAM and compare them to the equipment check conducted during
the Power On Self Test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be
displayed on the screen, and you will then be prompted to run the Setup
Program.
