Setup Configuration Utility

This chapter provide instructions on how to configure your system using the Setup
Configuration Utility (SCU).
Introduction
The SCU program allows you to configure the system BIOS settings. Those
settings are vital for your notebook to identify the types of installed devices as well
as to utilize special features. Typical menu items include date and time, the types
of disk drives, and IDE settings. Special features include power saving and
password settings.
The settings information is stored in the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) RAM, which is powered by a RTC backup battery.
You may need to run SCU when:
You see an error message on the screen requesting you to run SCU.
You want to restore the factory default settings.
You want to modify some specific settings.
Starting the SCU Program

system startup. The main SCU screen appears as shown in Figure 5-1.
NOTE:
1. The SCU screen shots shown in this chapter are for your reference
