My Presario – Getting Started
This chapter tells you how to configure your system using the SCU
(Setup Configuration Utility).
SCU allows you to configure the 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 the amount of memory.
Special features include Power Saving and Security.
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.
