Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Utility

Introduction

The BIOS Setup Utility records settings and information of your computer, such
as date and time, the type of hardware installed, and various configuration settings.
Your computer applies the information to initialize all the components when boot-
ing up and basic functions of coordination between system components.
You can run the setup utility and manually change the configuration. You might
need to do this to configure some hardware installed in or connected to the
motherboard, such as the CPU, system memory, disk drives, etc.

operating system loading that prompts you to "Hit <DEL>if you want to run
