BIOS Setup Program Modes

The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:
•
Normal mode for normal operations
•
Configure mode for clearing passwords (see Chapter 2 for instructions)
•
Recovery mode for BIOS recovery
The setting of the BIOS configuration jumper block controls the BIOS Setup Program Operating
mode. The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory.
