In this chapter, universal extensible firmware interface (UEFI) replaces Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS) to describe the system firmware except where
BIOS is used, such as on a graphical interface. The set-up utility is a hardware
configuration program that is built into the UEFI. The UEFI is already
configured and optimized so there is no need to run this utility. However, you
can run the set-up utility to do the following:
• Change the system configuration.
• Change the UEFI setup when the system detects a configuration error.
• Redefine communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
• Read the current amount of system memory.
• Change the boot drive.
• Set or change the password or make other changes to the security
settings.
• Upgrade the system firmware.
• Run the diagnostic utility to determine the cause of system malfunction.
• Restore or back up the operating system.
