When to Use the BIOS Setup Utility
4-2 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
When to Use the BIOS Setup Utility
Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There
is no need to run Setup when starting the computer unless you get a
configuration error.
Running Setup loads the configuration values into the battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the
system RAM.
Run Setup Message Repeatedly Received
If you repeatedly receive a Run Setup message, the battery may be bad. In this
case, the system cannot retain the configuration values in CMOS. Ask a
qualified technician for assistance.
Before Running Setup
Before you run Setup, do the following:
•
Know the type of diskette drive you have. The standard type is a 3.5-inch
1.44 MB diskette drive.
•
Close all files and applications.
