CHAPTER 6. BIOS SETUP UTILITY

1. OUTLINE
In UP-5900, there is a utility that rewrites minimum required setup infor-
mation at the system boot up that resides in ROM-BIOS.
Setup data is undefined at the first system startup, so setup must be
done. Basically, just doing initial setting in setup can do system opera-
tion.
Also, BIOS in UP-5900 will automatically detects memory size / HDD,
which makes no need for running setup again after changing hardware
(expanding memory, changing HDD, etc).
However, adding / removing second HDD will require running menu for-
mat setup.
2. STARTING PROCEDURE
There are 2 ways of starting setup, changing system SW and connect-
ing PS/2 type full keyboard. Setup started by each procedure will be as
follows.
