BIOS Setup Utility
Introduction
The BIOS Setup Utility records computer's settings and
information, such as date and time, type of installed hardware,
and various configuration settings. Your computer applies the
information to initialize all the components when booting up,
and basic functions of overall coordination between system
components.
If the Setup Utility configuration is incorrect, it may cause
system's malfunction. It can even keep your computer from
booting properly. If it happens, you can use the clear CMOS
jumper to clear the CMOS memory that has stored the
configuration information.
You can run the setup utility and manually make changes to the
configuration. You might need to do this to configure some of the
hardware that you install on or connect to the mainboard, such as
the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.
