special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for
making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the

Main Setup

When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You
can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are two
Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup screen
is shown below.
The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the
options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in
blue can. The right frame displays the key legend.
Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is
selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accom-
pany it.
