3-4 Configuring the System
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility lets you configure the main components of your
system. The utility is resident in the system FLASH memory and does not
require a diskette or an operating system present to run.
Your system ships from the factory with the correct system parameters for
your configuration. Unless you add optional hardware, you do not need to
run the BIOS Setup Utility to operate your system. However, you might
wish to run the BIOS Setup Utility to set features that customize your
system, such as security features.
NEC Computers recommends that you print out or write down your
current BIOS Setup parameters and store the information in a safe place.
This lets you restore your system to the current parameters if you need to
have the CMOS battery replaced.
