CAUTION: Unless you are an expert computer user, do not change the settings in the BIOS Setup program. Certain changes can

information for future reference.
Use the BIOS Setup program for the following purposes:
• Get information about the hardware installed in your computer, such as the amount of RAM and the size of the hard drive.
