When to Use the BIOS Utility

The notebook is already correctly configured for you and you do not need to
run the BIOS Utility. If you make any changes to the notebook or you
receive an Equipment Configuration Error message after you turn on the
notebook, you need to run the BIOS Utility. Run the BIOS Utility also if you
want to do any of the following:
Change the system date or time
Set the power-saving modes and timers
Set, change, or remove a system password
Change the system boot drive or display device
Add or remove serial and parallel devices
Set the video display features
6-2
The system configuration values reside in the battery-powered
CMOS RAM.
