This chapter tells how to use the Setup program that is built into the system
BIOS. The Setup program makes it possible to change and store system
configuration information such as the types of peripherals that are installed,
the boot-up sequence for the system, and enabling or disabling the power
management support. The Setup information is stored in CMOS random
access memory (RAM) and is backed up by a battery when power to the
system is off.
If the system does not operate as described here, see the chapter titled
"Solving Problems" for problem descriptions and error messages.
If you want to go into the Setup program, press the <F1> key after the POST
starts the memory test, but before the system boots up. You have about five
seconds to press <F1> to enter Setup before the boot process continues.
Make a Record of the Setup Configuration
To make sure you have a reference to the Setup values for your system, we
recommend you write down the current settings and keep this record up-to-
date.
